[On-Topic] any favorite tutorials or other helps for high-DPI monitors?

Show all headers | View raw

(In the old days, it was appropriate to tag off-topic posts in
this newsgroup with the bracketed [OT].  Lately, it seems more
appropriate to tag on-topic posts with something.  1/2 :-)

Does anyone have favorite tutorials or other helps for dealing
with a high-DPI transition?

I'm Running Devuan (currently Daedalus, hopefully soon Excalibur)
using plain X and fvwm2, no DE as such with 1920x1200 monitors.
Just purchased a round of 4k monitors, so I'll be needing to
adjust xterm fonts, web browser issues, other GUI application
issues, etc.

For web browser issues, I anticipate a lot of fun with websites
and web apps that use (n)px directives for some of their margins
and spacing.  If the browser interprets those at face value,
mixed with other directives in units of text elements and such,
things could end up looking somewhat different from how the
developers intended.

Thanks!
