Text Scaling Factor Not Persisting After Reboot (2K + FHD Monitors)

[b1kr3m]

Hello everyone 👋,

I’m running Hyprland on Arch Linux with a 2K laptop display (2560x1440@165Hz) and an external 1080p monitor. My current monitor configuration looks like this:

monitor=desc:BOE 0x0A2D,[email protected],0x0,1.0
monitor=desc:LG Electronics LG FHD 503TOBL2B085,[email protected],2560x107,1.0

The issue:
On my 2K laptop display, fonts (for example in Firefox) are very small at the default scale.
I set the Text Scaling Factor to 1.23 via GTK settings (gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.23).
It works until I reboot. After restart, the scaling factor always resets back to 1.00.

What I want:
A permanent solution so that the text scaling factor (1.23 for my 2K monitor) persists across reboots.

How to persist

modify in ~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf`

try this first

monitor=desc:BOE 0x0A2D,[email protected],0x0,1.0
monitor=desc:LG Electronics LG FHD 503TOBL2B085,[email protected],2560x107,2

as you can see above I change the monitor scaling into 2, try to experiment what works well for you! More https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Monitors/

I won't advise this gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.23 because it only affects GTK apps. try tha above first.

But if you want gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.23 to persist then

add this into your ~/.config/hypr/userprefs.conf

exec = gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.23
