Yes (though you likely already figured)

Remove (you need to reload the entire database)
xrdb -query | grep -v Xft.dpi | xrdb -load

This reads out the current database, strips every line containing "Xft.dpi" and loads the result as new database.

This looks like should be what I'm after, but putting it above '.

Did you check whether those files are invoked at all by cinnamon?
xinitrc is related to xinit which is used by startx, but desktops tend to 
operate on their own stuff (eg. startkde doesn't read ~/.xinitrc at all, you 
would have to explicitly add it to its autostart stuff.

I know nothing about cinnamon nor Mint, sorry, but if cinnamon-session is 
(typically) a script, you might find its inclusions there (otherwise best ask 
cinnamon developers)
You could also start a bare X server, xterm and "strace cinnamon-session 2>&1 | grep 
open" to see what files it opens (iff cinnamon-session is an ELF binary!)


        xrdb -query | grep -v Xft.dpi | xrdb -load &
        export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
        export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
        export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
        export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
        exec cinnamon-session

I bet that cinnamon-session ultimately re-sets the xrdb (as does KDE on 
starting up)


Cheers,
