hi,I'm new to archlinux,installation was easy and documentation was very helpful,i have a small problem with fonts ,its too small to read

[wasim@myarch ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep dots
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
[wasim@myarch ~]$ xrdb -query | grep dpi
Xft.dpi: 96
can anyone fix this issue,Some fonts are normal,some are small like notification and battery icon

Please remove the big image (and have a look at our guidelines).

I gather you have a HiDPI monitor. What is the actual screen size (measured with a ruler) and the screen resolution? If comparing these does not calculate to be close to 96 dpi, then that setting is the problem:

xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (508x286 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch

I can only assume that's the diagonal, in which case it doesn't match the values from xdpyinfo. So follow my links above to fix it.
