Xft.dpi is an Xresource. Setting it in ~/.Xresources should work per user. It
used to work in ~/.Xdefaults, and still might. How to do it globally varies by
distro. e.g. Mageia sets it to 96 in /etc/X11/ in two different Xresources
regular files, while in other distros, Xresources is a directory in /etc/X11/.

I wrote in my last post (see #3) why you have 120.
