There actually is one, only it's called the Text Scaling Factor, and
it's hidden in the Accessibility panel. It effectively sets the DPI to
96*TSF, so you have to do desired dpi / 96 to figure out what you want
to set it to.

(That's a much better UI! Now, both people who know what DPI is and how
to calculate it and people who don't are lost and confused. equality ho!
