Default OpenBSD -current (and for 7.1): Font sizes change for some displays

On some LCD displays, the dot-per-inch (DPI) will change from a calculated 96 to the display's actual DPI. This may cause fonts to change size. To return to prior behavior, use $ xrandr --dpi 96 in your .xsession/.xinitrc script. You can also change the DPI per application via .Xresources.

For more on this change, see https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=163674121630769&w=2

Upstream has already reverted the DPI change so the fix should be unnecessary once Xenocara is updated.

Arch have already patched their package if anybody can't wait:

Thanks! I started by adjusting font sizes, then went the the DPI setting instead.
