* DPI setting not respected in version 1.14.4

My Windows shortcut is

'C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe
-- -clipboard -emulate3buttons -dpi 80"'

Yet Cygwin/X does not seem to respect the DPI setting. Fonts are too big.

This worked with previous versions of Cygwin/X.

Any ideas?

I can't reproduce this:

$ startxwin -- -clipboard -emulate3buttons -dpi 80

$ xdpyinfo -display :1 | grep resolution
  resolution:    80x80 dots per inch

Can I please see your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Actually after I installed xdpyinfo (with a few dependencies that I
unfortunately did not take note of) and restarted X server, DPI 80 is
there again. No idea how this got fixed.
