You might want to use a DPI of 192 (for clean 2x scaling) instead of 196,
but that’s up to you.
You’re using a pixel font, which cannot be scaled:
12/15/2015 10:07:56 AM - config_parser.c:parse_config:313 - CONFIG(line
16): font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
Once you switch to a pango-based font, window decorations should be
properly scaled.
Fonts within applications are not influenced by i3, for that you’ll need to
follow e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI

Hi,
The fonts are rendered extremely tiny (unreadable) with i3 in 4k
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/31d0wp/i3_and_hidpi_display_everything_is_to_tiny/
§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.
