Maybe upscaling would help a lot here, it does when I output on hdmi, with Mate that's System - Preferences - look and feel - appearance then fonts - detail - resolution I set mine to around 144 and leave system fonts the same and then the vast majority of programs will respect that and be of a readable size at high monitor resolution. I guess with other desktops you could set it easily enough in an .Xresources file that runs on entering X-server You will of course find occasional programs that completely ignore this. Cheers, Dom.
