No, it is in the Windows own screen settings somewhere. I can't remember where 
in Windows 7 though, should be easy to find though. In XP it was with the 
advanced screen settings, and in Windows 8 it is with the other scaling 
options if I remember correctly.

Qt reads the system DPI and scales the fonts to it, and since 5.4 also scales 
parts of the widget style to match the font size. The reason the device pixel 
ratio only scaled everything except text is because Qt was already scaling the 
text to system settings.

Best regards
