  @ngraham Could you comment on why (on your personal machine) you went for increasing the font size instead of changing the DPI value? (If this is a UI issue, telemetry might give skewed results, BTW.)

  But why? The DPI spinbox allows for much more fine-tuning, and also affects all other places where the fonts you are changing here are not even used. If a display has smaller physical pixels, this affects everything and not only the standard fonts, doesn't it? (And in some cases you might not want fractional scaling, and only change fonts DPI.)
