[Development] Confused about HiDPI scaling and fonts

Hi,

it seems there is a misunderstanding here: Qt High  DPI scaling 
preserves the  point-size of the fonts; they are sized according to the 
system metrics.

All it does is pretend a lower resolution to the application so that 
apps written for 96DPI continue to work.

It is not a means of zooming the application (as opposed to 
QT_SCALE_FACTOR ).

Regards, Friedemann
