This problem is probably not actually an awesome issue... but none the
less is an issue for awesome users...
Basically after upgrading to Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), my applications
seem to be rendering fonts much too large. It only happens when in
awesome (not when running XFCE or Gnome).
Hi James,
there are two ways to fix this, either one might work:
xrandr --dpi 96
or add
Xft*dpi: 96
to your ~/.Xdefaults (and add xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults to your startup
sequence).

I tried your methods but they don't seem to have an effect. It seems
xrandr can't change the screen DPI when I am using the nvidia binary
driver (xrandr already thinks it is correct anyways). The Xft settings
don't seem to change the font sizes. Thanks for the ideas!
