Which version of i3? Make sure you run at least 4.11. If that doesn’t help,
please file an issue at https://github.com/i3/i3 and supply a logfile.

Hi,
The fonts are rendered extremely tiny (unreadable) with i3 in 4k monitor.
§1. I tried with 'startx -- -dpi 196', but that just increases the
size of the workspace bar and not other application windows.
§2. I also added a line in .i3/config file with a larger fontsize:
'font pango:DejaVu Sans 10'
§3. I tried with 'xrandr --dpi 196'
§4. Tried with 'Xft.dpi: 196' in .Xresources file.
On all accounts, there was no changes at all.
Found a similar thread at

Is there a way to overcome this problem? Thanks.
