-dpi 96

How to change Apple X11's notion of display pixel size.

Summary:

  • add -dpi 96 (or something) to defaultserverargs in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
  • restart X11
  • xdpyinfo|grep resolution to check that it worked

You might want to do this if you find X11 programs choose stupidly small fonts.
