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.
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.
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!
