To view the existing device pixel ratio values for each monitor, run alacritty -v, move the child window to each monitor, and pay attention to the reported Device pixel ratio in the parent window.I have a few thoughts on why this is such a popular theme:ġ. On some setups with multiple displays, this behavior can result in vastly different physical sizes. One workaround is to launch Alacritty with Xwayland instead of native Wayland by setting an empty WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable.īy default, Alacritty attempts to scale fonts to the appropriate point size on each monitor based on the Device pixel ratio.
