Spacemacs don't respect the dpi settings under Linux

[dsdshcym]

I want to switch to linux on my retina Macbook. And tried to install one in VMware Fusion first. But I found that spacemacs seems breaks the dpi settings under Linux. As in this screenshot, the pure emacs is correct:

Could this be a font setting?

What is the output of describe-font? I think that the default font of spacemacs is Source Code Pro in size 13. I had to change this to size 24 on my hdpi screen.

@cpaulik Mine is Input, size 14. I don't know why the pure emacs is fine. It can adjust font size according to dpi settings?

[cpaulik]

Is your M-x describe font output Input 14 for both frames you show in your screenshot?

[dsdshcym]

No. The pure emacs's output is size: 41.

I think I can close this issue, then.

I observe the same on Windows 10

I have this problem on Spacemacs under Windows 10. I'm using develop branch. Vanilla Emacs works correctly. I think we should keep this open.

Same on arch linux in gnome. Tiny on laptop highdpi screen, normal on external display. Vanilla emacs works.

Same issue here on Archlinux in plasma. Vanilla emacs works.

Same on Arch WSL + VcXsrv with these tweaks.

Any workarounds?

also it seems a problem on ubuntu20.04 /xubuntu with i3 , scale is way to high but normal emacs is fine ( spacemacs with emacs28) (also sorry for necro posting)

I cannot reproduce this. On my system with KDE, the DPI settings apply to Spacemacs.
