Hi,

   Check your DPI by typing into a terminal

            xrdb -query | grep dpi

   To set it permanently for your session, type the following at the terminal:
              echo "Xft.dpi:96" >> ~/.Xdefaults
              xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults

    Then put the last line at the beginning of your autostart.sh, to
make the adjustment
permanent.

    That should do the trick.

Regards,

Delcides
