DisplaySize caculate method:

and <DPI-Desired> by your wanted dpi size.

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?
I have no idea how to find out.
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!)
I tried this ~/.xinitrc first at a test:
Then I tried:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#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"
echo "Xft.dpi: 120" | xrdb -override
exec /usr/bin/xterm &
exec openbox
#exec cinnamon-session
That got an xterm open, from which I entered xrdb -query | grep Xft to find
120, then strace cinnamon-session 2>&1 | grep open. Screen went black, then I
was returned to shell prompt from which I ran startx. So next I tried this
~/.xinitrc:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#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"
echo "Xft.dpi: 120" | xrdb -override
exec /usr/bin/xterm &
#exec openbox
exec strace cinnamon-session 2>&1 | grep open
That got both xterm and cinnamon session going, but left no output anywhere I
could see or find, including not touching .xsession-errors. lsof|wc -l
produces 12363. Whether I should be able to find a clue in lsof output I have
no idea, so maybe it's time to find cinnamon people to ask how it's supposed
to work.
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)
That would surprise me none.
Again, thank you!
