I *think* most recent versions of GNOME do that but I'm not sure. </div>behdad </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 12:52 AM, Ben Stern <<a href="mailto:bas-savannah@ubrew.org" target="_blank">bas-savannah@ubrew.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">In my fontconfig/conf.d, I can specify fontconfig XML which states a given DPI, but I can't specify this per-head.

How can I tell fontconfig to use the correct DPI on a given head? (I tried to open this as a bug and was directed here instead.)
