Right. But something in E must be preventing these applications from using the font sizes I have set in them. I changed their settings while using them under E, and they had no effect (that in itself is wrong), so when I logged out and logged into a Cinnamon job, I get this: http://silmaril.ie/screenshots/emptyscreen-cinnamon.png http://silmaril.ie/screenshots/chromium-cinnamon.png http://silmaril.ie/screenshots/thunderbird-cinnamon.png So they *have* taken effect, but when I log out and back into E, the settings are not in effect. Something is preventing the apps from using the settings: http://silmaril.ie/screenshots/enlightenment.png > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI It says Cinnamon supports hi-res laptop screens, which it does, and it also works with the apps run within it. It says in E to use Look > Scaling, which I have tried, but that of course only affects the E interface itself, not any apps. It also works backwards, so for the very hi-res screen I have had to set "Scale relative to screen DPI" to a base value of 48dpi in order to make things readable. > look at the toolkits section, browsers etc. No, there is no point in you wasting your valuable time messing with other people's settings. Unfortunately this makes E completely unusable on very high resolution screens for normal everyday work in third-party applications.
