Description
Dear maintainer,
on my debian testing installation I run xpra (version 2.4.3-r21350M) with the following command:
xpra start-desktop :100 --start="xrandr -s 1024x768" --start="fluxbox -display=:100"
When I attach the display on another machine (I tried different PCs with different operating systems and xpra versions) with the command
xpra attach ssh:hostname:100
a new window with fluxbox with extremely tiny, unreadable fonts appears.
I have tried starting the server with the --dpi=96 or other values but nothing changes.
Here the log file of screen :100

The command DISPLAY=:100 xpdyinfo returns the following

A very very low resolution of 12x18 dots per inch is detected. Maybe is this the reason for the tiny fonts? Any suggestion?
The same behavior occur if I launch openbox instead of fluxbox.
Thank you in advance.

I have just installed xpra v2.4.3-r21365 from xpra.org but nothing changed.

What you need is the patched dummy driver which is in the xpra repository for most distribution variants.
I don't know what your distro is, so I can't be certain.
To verify, print the version information for the xorg dummy package on your system.

My distribution is debian testing.
I just reinstall completely xpra and xserver-xorg-video-dummy, reboot the system, and now fonts are readable. Thank you for your great help!

this ticket has been moved to: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/2119
My guess is that you're not using the patched dummy driver from xpra's repository, as you did not get xpra 2.4.3 r21350M from us.
