A user reported that resizing the fastx desktop client window causes the font size to blow up. Before resizing:

After resizing:

Looks similar to this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20464814/changing-dpi-scaling-size-of-display-make-qt-applications-font-size-get-rendere
Though we already have high DPI scaling enabled by default. Perhaps it's not playing well with fastx.

I see from the window titles that they're using the gfg-xfce4 option, which I previously had issues with on DAMNIT. Does it still happen with one of the other FastX remote desktop options?

It does, alas.

it seems to be an issue with the latest xfce release: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=77787
running xrandr --dpi 96 fixes it.
