Even for projectors it would be rather easy since video organisations (SMPTE,

So QT 5.6 handles configurations GTK+ developers refused to envision.

Yes, Plasma 5 definitely handles that

It's hidpi-style 'scale everything'. Apps can either natively draw at
1.5x or 1.25x, or be scaled by the compositor (with what looks l

1.25 is looking sane at the moment. I didn't realize it'd take a
non-integer. 2 is huge and worse

Actually, no, it'd be better. h
In Firefox, the about:config setting:
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
can be set to an arbitrary non-integer scalefactor, such as 1.25 or 1.5.
Unfortunately, GTK applications are limited to scalefactors of 1 or 2 so
you're stuck with Large Text, gnome-tweak-tool's font scaling factor, or
setting font
HP Spectre 13" 1920x1080 and all text everywhere by default is just on
the cusp of too small. I don't think this is really a hidpi display,
so I'd expect this problem to be much worse if it were 3200x1800.
To compensate, I'm using Large Text in Universal Access. But
applications don't use that, su
