Some GUI applications are slightly blurry/low-res on Wayland

Hello, some of my applications like Gimp and Godot (3 and 4) appear low-resolution. I am using Hyprland (Wayland) with the 6.1.12-gentoo-dist kernel.

Screenshot of Godot, alongside my bar and terminal: https://i.ibb.co/smgzxvd/2023-03-01-T10 ... -13-00.png

Does anyone have any advice to give me that would solve this problem?

Try to disable monitor scaling and increase font size instead.
Set proper dpi (150 is example) for X applications and make sure the file is loaded

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.Xresources 
Xft.dpi:       150
$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

Thank you but I tried this and it didn't work. I don't have a HiDPI display, just a regular 1920x1080.
