Maybe upscaling would help a lot here, it does when I output on hdmi,
with Mate that's
System - Preferences - look and feel - appearance
then
fonts - detail - resolution
I set mine to around 144 and leave system fonts the same and then the
vast majority of programs will respect that and be of a readable size
at high monitor resolution.
I guess with other desktops you could set it easily enough in an
.Xresources file that runs on entering X-server
You will of course find occasional programs that completely ignore
this.
Cheers,
Dom.
