Yes. Font rendering is performed on the client side - as it is with X11 also -
so Wayland has nothing to do with it. Realistically everyone uses the same
method to render fonts, so this is not a problem.
<span class="quote">> 2) Applications (GUI toolkits) must implement their own DPI scaling.</span >
Yes. Toolkits are difficult to implement, so.

No, these are not actually a part of Wayland, and generally are solved
problems. If you want to use a new and exotic toolkit, then this will probably
be difficult, but really, don't use new and exotic toolkits. You can bypass the
system toolkits on Windows and OS X as well, to do all your own rendering and
solve all these problems again yourself, but there's a reason people don't.
Solving these problems in Wayland would be akin to making Wayland a full
toolkit itself, which is absolutely not what we want to do. If you have
concerns about shortcomings in existing toolkits, please raise these with the
toolkit developers.</pre>
