  Perhaps such a mixed approach might even make more sense.
  
  As said, any scaling like 1.2 will not work with most of our applications, see above Konsole.
  
  With "a lot" of work, stuff like 1.25 or 1.5 will work like in KTextEditor by adjusting the fonts internally a bit to avoid sub-pixel jitter per line.
  
  I think we shall really avoid to expose bad scale factors to users.
