Ubuntu: how to set fractional scaling to 110% or 115%

Question

I am trying to increase the font size on my Ubuntu 24 machine thru Display Settings. When I turn on Fractional Scaling, it shows 100%, 125%, 150%, and so on. When I set it to 100%, the fonts are too small, when I set it to 125%, they are too big. There is no option to set it to anything between 100% and 125%. I want to set it to 110% or 115%. How can I do it?

Answer 1

In Ubuntu, you can enable fractional scaling to set the display scale to values like 110% or 115% using the 'gsettings' command, as the GUI for Display settings does not support these values. Here are the steps:

• Open a terminal.
• Run the following command to enable fractional scaling:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

• Set the scale to 110% using the following command:

 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.1

You can change 1.1 to other values according to the desired scaling you prefer.
