In XFce-utils, the script /scripts/xinitrc sets the default font size:

xrdb -nocpp -merge - << EOF
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
EOF

It shouldn't change the default fontsize. The dpi value should depend on the
screen resolution, e.g. a higher
value for notebook displays with 1400x1050 pixels and a lower number for
desktop TFTs with 1280x1024 pixels. It's bad behaviour to overwrite this with
a hard coded value.

Could this be fixed to be at least commented out. If people choose to change it
on their local installation, then that's ok, but it shouldn't be default.

No, it's there on purpose. Removing this setting gives odd/ugly defaults on
some hw.

The user can comment out the setting if needed.

component.  sorry for the spam, search for this string to filter these:
