The procedure for setting DPI scaling depends on the presence of the `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` daemon from the `gnome-settings-daemon` package: The procedure for setting DPI scaling depends on the presence of the `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` daemon, usually provided by the `gnome-settings-daemon` package:
- without `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` running, applications honor the Xft.dpi` [X resource](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_resources) - without `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` running, applications honor the Xft.dpi` [X resource](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_resources), which we can use for scaling.
- with `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` running, applications are prevented from using the `Xft.dpi` Xresource so gnome specific commands have to used. - with `/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings` running, applications are prevented from using the `Xft.dpi` Xresource so gnome specific commands have to used.

- for xterm, ctrl-right click in the terminal's windows and select TrueType fonts (make sure you have such fonts installed !) - for `xterm`, ctrl-right click in the terminal's windows and select 'TrueType Fonts' (make sure you have such fonts installed).
