I have no idea how. All I can find is the Hi-DPi settings in Gnome-Tweak but, of course, it only lets me choose to scale from "1" to "2" which makes things way too big.
It's better to not top post if possible. :)
There is an xrandr scale command as well. If for example, your output is eDP1 then xrandr --output eDP1 --scale .8x.8
The smaller the scaling, the larger the size, so I think that .5x.5 wou be what the tweak tool is offering.
Thanks for the help.
I've got it working now. What I ended up doing was adding video=1600x900 to my boot / kernel command line to test and then appended it in my grub menu.
I screwed around with font scaling with Gnome Tweak and also in about:config of Firefox and Thunderbird but there was always something that looked funny and some webpages didn't come out right.
setting my resolution to 1600x900 is a cheesy, yet effective, way to do get what I need.
...Now if I can just get my touchpad to FRICK'N disable while typing.
