Having now seen Jon's message ...

Yes, my XWin log shows a dpi of 192, which is
7576 / 39.37 (inches per meter), rounded.

As I mentioned, it is clear the XWin itself
has a notion of resolution, but most applications
do not seem to be coded to take it into account.
The main ones that I use don't, anyway, and so
I needed to adjust things in my .Xdefaults, as
I described and gave examples of in my previous
posting ...
