Hi!

When DPI is updated system-wide (I am using xsettingsd for this),
gnome-terminal doesn't update the font size to match the new DPI
settings. A terminal like xfce4-terminal does that.

The changelog of libvte seems to say that this should be handled:

        Bug 417301 – Terminal widgets don't respond to DPI changes
    
        * src/vte.c (vte_terminal_fc_settings_changed): Force a font reload
        after XFT settings have changed.
    
    
    svn path=/trunk/; revision=1835

The entry is however quite old, maybe a regression?

This happens with gnome-terminal from unstable as well.
