kitty 0.15 and HighDPI display

Hi

After update kitty terminal emulator to version 0.15 the font size become very small.
I'm using X.Org and i3 wm with nvidia video card.
On attached screenshot is kitty and gnome terminal with some font PragmataPro with size 14.

My question has anyone faced with problem, or it's only on my configuration?

The answer was in setting Xft.dpi. I wonder how it worked before 0.15 without Xft.dpi set. I got an answer from an author.

Re: kitty 0.15 and HighDPI display

Your solution in setting Xft.dpi to fix issues with Kitty on highDPI might be worth adding to the Arch Wiki for Kitty since that can affect others as well. If you have a moment, see if you can add that to the Wiki? If you're new to modifying the Wiki, please start at this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ntributing.
