[Development] Confused about HiDPI scaling and fonts

[Morten Sørvig]

Hello!

(This is mailing list is for discussing development _of_ Qt - interest at qt-project.org is the correct list for Qt usage questions)

The setting looks correct and fonts should be resized. There is no need to set QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING on the environment when setting the AA_EnableHighDpiScaling app attribute.

It’s a bit hard to say what goes wrong. You could try running qtdiag or dprgadget from github.com/msorvig/qt-highdpi-manualtests/tree/master/dprgadget and check if the correct device pixel ratio is set. (1.5 for 150% etc.)
