      Hi, I'm running F32 on a hi-dpi screen, with
        kde+wayland.
        

        I find I get good results by going to font settings, and
          choosing Force dpi, and selecting 120 rather than the default
          96.  This produces a warning that the recommended approach is
          to instead use scaling.  If I try scaling the results look
          awful, but force dpi seems fine.
        

        Any thoughts?

        
    With both Gnome and KDE, under both Wayland and Xorg, I accessed the
    settings app and used the scaling options to scale the font to 150%,
    as is done in Windows, so that text was readable on my 4K monitor.
    Using that scaling methodology I have found that the displays are
    fine.

    The issue I have found is that Wayland seems to not be able to
    handle high resolution properly, in that when you scale a window
    above a certain size (I haven't yet been able to determine exactly
    where the threshold is) you start getting double images. The issue
    does not appear to happen under Xorg. The other thing I should point
    out with this is I am running F32 in a VM, and the double image
    issue happens in both Vmware Player and Virtualbox, plus it also
    happens in Wayland in Ubuntu and Magaiea, which are two other
    distros I've tried.

    
    regards,

    Steve
