But be prepared for "interesting" effects with all gtk3-applications. DPI increase from 96 to 120 might double your fontsizes, but not the change the width of scrollbars. I'm still working on fixing that for my testmachine, but so far the only way to get decent fonts and menues is going back to gtk2. In my case I had to roll back geany to 1.29 and terminator to 0.97.
