--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
There was quikee's HiDPI work, I have some recollection we tested screen DPI to
classify the UI, and whether to apply scaling. But I think this thread [1]
suggests that was cleaned up--is there still internal DPI testing scaling done
for HiDPI?

As to what the os/DE do, I know with Widnows os/DE if you don't apply a custom
scaling factor and use just default scaling at 100-125% the entire UI is
miniscule on 4K displays. And that simple scaling through about 225% is
different than using the custom scaling (providing 100-500% range) with
Advacned Scaling settings dialog. The simple scaling is more like the Linux UI
scaling--1.25, 1.5, 2.0 etc. The Windows custom scaling seems to directly scale
the individual UI elements rather than scaling a finished frame. 

I don't really perceive much of a problem on Windows builds and HiDPI / 4K
resolution support.  But I know some folks would benefit if we could provide
for UI at multiple font sizes despite the users os/DE settings.
