Nate,

Before I set DPI to 192, GTK based application had fonts that were way too
small: Remmina, Firefox, inkscape, etc.

While global scale settings seemed to work fine for KDE apps. It didn't seem to
be a true global scaling, else why was it not able to scale GTK apps just the
same as KDE apps?

If you'll look at that screenshot I attached a few moments ago, I think I'm
adequately explaining a more fundamental issue. Proper coding of these controls
should utilize more horizontal space when it is available. In that screenshot,
you can see that there are several inches of horizontal space, but the width of
the font-controls is NOT utilizing it. That's a more fundamental issue.

If you're going to support DPI adjustment, the layout and sizing of these
controls should be able to accommodate a 192 dpi and 14pt or greater font. This
is a badly designed form, because it underutilized horizontal space. I cannot
read the Font-Name in its entirety on a 4K display! You don't chop off text
when there is plenty of screen real-estate to display it in full.

That's what I'm reporting here. I'm not looking for a work-around; Everything
else works great (QT and GDK) exactly how I have my settings (except for this
badly designed  "Font - System Settings" control layout and sizing).
