Hello, I have the issue that in some apps the fonts are microscopic.

Gimp:

Emacs:

By changing the .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini it just change the fonts and icons in other apps.

Changing the resolution with xrandr don't solve the problem.

Can somebody please help me?

@Lobo1980 - @JasKinasis I believe knows a bit about Qtile.

By my mentioning him, he will be notified, and may well swing in when he has free time.

I’ve used qtile in the past, but not for very long. I’ve literally only test driven it a few times.

This looks like it’s on a monitor with a really high resolution. So maybe some kind of application-level scaling is required, to compensate for the high dpi?!

All of my monitors are pretty low resolution by modern standards, so I’ve never seen this kind of issue myself. So I don’t know the exact solution offhand. And I can’t be bothered to DuckDuckGo-fu it right now!
