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

$ i3 --moreversion 2>&- || i3 --version

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

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/31d0wp/i3_and_hidpi_display_everything_is_to_tiny/

Is there a way to overcome this problem? Thanks.
