Tiny Fixes

These are really just fixes for the font rendering/zoom levels of everything. As it turns out the world/userspace tools aren’t really ready for high DPI. As such these are some quick tweaks to get everything not looking ridiculous. I use Firefox as my browser, urxvt (with 256-color) as my terminal, and i3 as my window manager.

Firefox Settings

After some tinkering, I’ve realized the best bet is to get the Default Full Zoom add-on and set the default zoom between 130% and 140%.
