There are two pieces of this problem. The first is that GnuCash 2.6.x (and before, back to GnuCash 2.0.0) uses Gtk2 for its GUI toolkit and that stopped active development before HiDPI monitors became common. GnuCash 3.0 will use Gtk3 which has much better support for HiDPI. That’s the good news.
The other piece is that even Gtk3 doesn’t scale exactly to the monitor resolution, particularly on Windows, so you may see some pixel smearing if the monitor’s DPI isn’t an integer multiple of 96.
