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).
