We'll make use of the `Xft.dpi` [X resource](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_resources) in VMs. Most (all ?) toolkits and applications honor it so it is the prefered way to set dpi scaling instead of using toolkit-specific features.

Test with a different dpi value: in a terminal issue the following command and then start an application to check that the menus/fonts' size is increased/decreased (replace '144' accordingly with a number that is a multiple of 6, or even 12, as numbers that aren't sometimes result in annoying rounding errors that cause adjacent bitmap font sizes to not increment and decrement linearly):

Once you found a value that fits your setup you'll likely want to permanently set the dpi resource. You can do so on a per-template or per-VM basis:
- add a `Xft.dpi: xxx` line to the TemplateVM's Xresource file (`/etc/X11/Xresources` or `/etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common` for whonix-ws-template).
- or, add a `Xft.dpi: xxx` line to .Xresources file in *each* VM's user profile (`$HOME/.Xresources`)

- or, add `Xft.dpi: xxx` to `$HOME/.Xresources` in each AppVM.
Note for R3.2: the `Xft.dpi` resource should be used by applications; if you have issues you may want to try the following (replace `2` and `0.75` accordingly):
