I thought about fiddling with DPI, but every program other than
Thunderbird has been adjusted accordingly. Are just not able to
adjust those parts of Thunderbird?

I ran ddcprobe and it lists my EDID, so I assume thats working (though
I'm not sure whats a normal value):

edid:
edid: 1 3
screensize: 34 27

Then I just notice my second monitor looks different and here is why:

(==) RADEON(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
(--) RADEON(1): DPI set to (95, 96)

Nice, different DPI. Since the first monitor is already at 75 DPI, I
don't think I'd want to go smaller. So I'm back to trying to make
fonts larger :-)
