Description soshial 2013-04-29 14:27:22 UTC 
The system should automatically compute the DPI of the screen and increase the size of fonts to represent real size of those.

It would be very convenient if there is an option to tweak increasing/decreasing volume of window elements like it is in Windows: http://youtu.be/ZF9ebvZh_Q0

Reproducible: Always

> The system should automatically compute the DPI of the screen

This should be done by the video driver automatically. Please run this in Konsole:

xdpyinfo | grep inch

and check if it matches your screen's actual DPI. If not, please report a bug to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

DPI scaling for text (in case of broken drivers) is possible using System Settings > Application Appearance > Fonts > Force fonts DPI.

My resolution is 1920x1080 pixels.

1. According to http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html I do have 19941 PPI² (pixels per square inch)
2. According to xdpyinfo, I do have 1920x1080 pixels (501x281 millimeters) and 97x98 dots per inch.

Seems like 97x98 = 9506 dots per inch, which is twice as less than 19941. Do I reason correctly?
