Running latest HEAD at time of writing, X11 on Linux.
I work a lot both docked and undocked, and depending on where I am I adjust the DPI of my display to suit. Using xsettingsd and my handy DPI script for adjusting X11 DPI on the fly, I can get on just fine. Many (GTK-based) applications, including other vte based terminal emulators, implement the xsettings protocol and change their DPI when asked to.
I can't seem to work out how to get Alacritty to change the scale/dpi without restarting each terminal instance. I'd like to be able to replicate the same "change dpi at will" functionality as I can with most other windows.
