I may have been overly enthusiastic. Since I am only at 1.5 scale, tiny icons are not really my concern: See Gimp and Inkscape: http://postimg.org/image/g5i6rfgsz/ So, there are more stuff than Xft/DPI to adjust. I suppose that setting org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor to 2 may help. However, I am unable to test as it is not based on XSETTINGS but it's just a gnome-control-center property. -- Having nothing, nothing can he lose. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI"
