Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

4K support for Gnome is complicated. I use 100% as my integer scaling factor and then use Gnome tweaks to scale text up. This seems to work much better than fractional scaling. Most apps I'm using respond correctly to the text scaling. Zed however does not. I can manually adjust the UI and buffer font sizes but the menus for example are still not the right size. In general, it would be ideal for Zed to support text-scaling-factor. VS Code supports it and looks great using it. The Gnome UI seems to adjust fine around using larger text so it's a good way to use the 4k screen for more density and keep the text readable.

% gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 
1.5
