--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Xorg defaulting to 96 DPI isn't it being broken; this has been its standard
behavior since forever. And it's not just KDE code that relies on this; tons of
other things do too. Everything that uses Qt, for example.
The only reason to force the font DPI to 96 on the KDE side is as an insurance
against the Xorg issue being "fixed" again. I assume they're not going to make
that mistake again soon! The time to refine this behavior and set a better
default was 20 years ago, not today when Xorg is practically abandonware and
everyone's working on Wayland support.
However everything actually works better than expected even if they do it
again. You can disable Qt scaling and only use DPI-based scaling. Of course
then all the icons are the wrong size. But this is a Qt issue that we are
simply inheriting.
