            Bug ID: 93794
           Summary: No support for system-wide DPI scaling
           Product: Wayland
           Version: 1.5.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: yanpaso at gmail.com

High! I was reading articale about linux downsides: 
http://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html
There were highlighted two Wayland minuses:
1) Applications (GUI toolkits) must implement their own fonts antialiasing -
there's no API for setting system wide fonts rendering. What??! Most sane and
advanced windowing systems work exactly this way - Windows, Android, Mac OS X.
In Wayland all clients (read applications) are totally independent.
2) Applications (GUI toolkits) must implement their own DPI scaling.

It all sounds scary, is it possible for wayland to fix these issues? Should I
open one new bug report for font-antialiasing?
