i want my default to be 150% on all apps and desktop. i;m tired of constantly HAVING to reset it with each boot or app startup.
iff i knew the correct ASCHII codes i could use a script to add [CTRL + +} 4-5 times, unless there's a better way? thx.
Do you want all text graphics to be larger?
You could try to edit .Xresources file. geany /root/.Xresources and
add to the end of the file or replace the number to : Xft.dpi:144 save and close, then run xrdb -merge .Xresources and reboot. Is this what u r looking for?
Just a suggestion:
Did you consider using a lower screen resolution while keeping the size of your work area.

This is how I configure my display so that I can actually make out what's happening:
Open Menu>Setup>QuickSetup.
Near the Bottom-Right of the GUI put a 'check-mark' in the Run Video Wizard box. [Graphic Top-Left].Then Click OK.
Xorg Video Wizard will open. [Graphic Top-Right].
I select 'Screen resolution /Color depth (xorg.config)'.
The Set screen resolution GUI opens. [Graphic Bottom]. There's a Scroll-bar which displays various choices. The default display for my system is 1900 x something. I change that to 1680 x 1050. The smaller the numbers the larger elements of the display will appear.
At the bottom of the same GUI is a scroll bar for selecting the default Font DPI. This works as you would expect: the larger the number the larger the font displayed.
You may have to experiment with both settings. IIRC, I had to click OK at the bottom of the GUI for the Screen Resolution, than re-open Xorg Wizard before configuring the font size.
Screen Resolution (xrandr) can be used instead of xorg.config. But its GUI doesn't include anything to change the font size.
