The question is then how to scale a bitmap.

This is the standard fixed bitmap font which has been expanded by Markus Kuhn to have a rather complete character set. You have hinted the answer yourself by referencing (typeface) PS8: vncdesk is a good tool to use to scale up a single window. PS7: 75 DPI is hardcoded in the BDF font. PS6: I could be able to create 120DPI bitmap font from Courier New with 20pt $ otf2bdf -p 20 -r 120 cour.ttf > cour.bdf PS4: After installing 100DPI fonts, this was good, although it lacks great language support of the default fixed font. PS3: I am testing otf2bdf and bdftopcf utiliites to create experimental PCF bitmap fonts for HIDPI from vector TTF/OTF fonts. PS2: Fontforge which also uses Xlib, uses a nice theme and normal font sizes.

PS1: I have installed 100 DPI fonts for X, but I couldn't use them $ sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi This is what I have done, which worked somehow, but I couldn't be able to use the original "fixed font family", so it may now work for some languages only. There are workarounds for Qt and Gtk, but what about Xlib-based applications like Xterm, Xcalc, Xman, Xfige, etc? Should we watch them fade away, as the display DPI goes up? Please Help if you know any workarounds. I have even tried to use scaling, but it affected the whole X, rather than a single application: $ xrandr -output LVDS1 -scale 0.5x0.5 The result seems to be applied $ xdpyinfo | grep resolutionīut it does not change the resolution of xterm at all. So I tried to change the DPI with xrandr, but It didn't help. My default setting for the XFCE environment is set to 120 dpi, but xpdyinfo reports 97x97 DPI $ xdpyinfo |grep resolution Even the so called Huge size (which is 10x20 bitmap font) is very small for me, and unusable. It works just fine, it supports Unicode, and the default fixed font family contains characters from nearly all languages, which is great.īut I came across an important problem. Specified in the corresponding Arch Linux package.After several years of happily using different terminal emulators like Konsole, Gnome-TERMINAL, and lately XFCE Terminal in their appropriate desktop environments, I decided to use good old xterm with its bitmap fonts.
