I'm on an HD display now, and I gotta say: We need scaling options again in the preferences. 
Linux 
Openbox. I use lxqt-config-appearance to configure fonts and dpi resolution. 

First suggestion would be take the direct font sizes we use and put them behind getter functions that take a set multiplier. If we're fancy, try and sample DE for said multiplier so we don't need an in app setting. I would actually hope Flutter might assist on this.

The dpi setting is saved in

~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

or under

~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/

Scaling options have returned to the UI (as of 1.12 https://cwtch.im/changelog/). Flutter should also better respect desktop scaling prefs now. Closing as complete. But feel free to reopn
