There's a DPI setting in X which most modern desktops/apps pay
attention to when scaling fonts and images, but it's ignored by older
apps that use fixed, bitmapped fonts and hard-wired icon images.
So, first check to make sure that the DPI setting is correct:
$ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 408.135] (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (99, 98); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X
config
[ 408.141] (--) NVIDIA(1): DPI set to (99, 98); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X
config
[ 408.145] (==) intel(2): DPI set to (96, 96)
On anything even remotely modern, it should get read auto-magically
from the display itself.
If that's correct, then I'm not sure what the next step would be.
