If the window covers multiple screens, with different DPIs, the highest DPI will be used. -_Tip_: QT applications can be configured to work this way too, by -exporting the environment variable `QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPI=physical`. +Starting with foot-1.6, the _default_ behavior is to use the monitor’s +DPI to size fonts when output scaling has been disabled. On monitors +where output scaling has been enabled, fonts will instead be sized +using the scaling factor. This can be changed with the `dpi-aware` +option in `foot.ini`. See the man page, **foot.ini**(5) for more +information. _Note_: if you configure **pixelsize**, rather than **size**, then DPI changes will **not** change the font size. Pixels are always pixels.
