Strange, because using the same method as what you, but with a fpGUI
test application. Scaling worked perfectly on Linux, FreeBSD, Win2000,
WinXP, Win7 and Win8.1
Here are screenshots I just did under Windows 8.1. The application was
designed at 96dpi, and I tested with 120 (120%), 144 (150%) and 192
(200%) dpi values. Note how the whole application stays in proportion
with clear text and graphics.

Granted, under Win8.1 I had to include a manifest file to tell Windows
that my application is DPI-aware, otherwise it does scaling (app stays
at 96dpi and then Windows zooms the app). Here is the manifest file I
used, as as recommended by Microsoft.
===========================
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"
xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" >
<asmv3:application>
<asmv3:windowsSettings
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings";>
<dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
</asmv3:windowsSettings>
</asmv3:application>
</assembly>
===========================
The manifest file is probably the problem I am facing...
Michael.
