Default [SOLVED] DPI - How to change the setting - (Openbox)?

Hi, I'm running Openbox on a 24" display @ 1200p using an Intel CPU/GPU. I've adjusted the fonts sizes via the Openbox Configuration Manager (I'd like to also install LXAppearance but it doesn't seem to be available in the repo's but that's not the problem that this post is about), & the most of the what I see is fine, as I'm using 20 point fonts everywhere I can.

The size of the system fonts (as per any requesters, or the OB Config' Manager, or the Firefox menu fonts) are all really small. I believe that this is caused by OpenBSD natively using 96 DPI.

So, I'd like to know how to raise that number?

I've searched on the web, & on the OpenBSD site. The best I can come up with (which I've tried with no success) is to use the following command:

Code:
doas xrandr --dpi 130
I just chose 130 as a trial number, as I see trial & error being the method of coming up with the right DPI to use.

Any help much appreciated.
