I've been trying to customize my config a bit. After I changed the font, I've been noticing the font size will be huge when I login with i3. We're talking at least twice as tall.

I figured out restarting i3 seems to fix it. However, this also seems to change the behavior of gnome-settings-daemon slightly (which I use for small little conveniences--nothing major), and I feel like I shouldn't have to restart the WM to have properly sized font.

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this issue, or if they know how I might fix it? (note: the default font does not suffer this issue). the font lines from my config (one or the other would always be commented out):

font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 10

What if you don't want to create an `xorg.conf`?

not sure. why do you want to avoid it? I think this might be an nVidia issue. I have since switched to an AMD card, and did not have the issue with a default xorg.conf

Since it's a laptop I switch display configurations very frequently so it's just easier without an `xorg.conf`. I might try to just set those specific settings in a dedicated conf file in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d`.
