Font Rescaling #878

I just got a new 4K monitor for Christmas. I uped the font size to 125% and now CKAN's buttons are just barely visible. Can you allow us to rescale the pop up boxes and have the new sizes persist?

I'd like to see a way to force CKAN to use a bigger font (or a different font in general) too. I can't really remember if it's always been like this, but right now a lot of the text in CKAN v1.28 is text that I find hard to read. Especially the multi-line mod descriptions, that feature text with practically no space in between lines are hard to read. This is not a problem with font size on my PC in general (other programs have fantastic font sizes by default), it's just CKAN where text seemingly is small.

I use a 3440x1440 screen (@ 109 ppi), so if this is not a problem at 4k anymore (and maybe not even at 1440p) could someone look into fixing it for the ultra-widescreen variant of 1440p?

Here is a screenshot of my entire KSP window:

Edit: maybe I should add some of my system specs: OS: Manjaro Linux Desktop Environment: XFCE mono: 6.8.0.123-1

Bump. This is an issue for me, too.

Hello, this is also an issue to me. I tried to do GDK_SCALE=3 ckan but this unfortunately does not work.

Apparently CKAN does not use GDK, so what is it using? Maybe we can find a fix for this at user level, since we could theoretically edit the /usr/share/applications/ckan.desktop file to start it scaled up.

Sup folks! It's been quite a while since anyone mentioned this, so I've decided to tackle the issue myself. TLDR: There's simply no real way to make a quick find+replace on font size or smth like that. In many a case, the 'default' font is used (i.e. it's not specified), often there's a hard-coded value and so on. All I'm trying to say is it's gonna require extreme effort to change, so for now the solution is to drop the resolution down AND remove scaling, if you have it, as it makes everything even worse.
