That's the result I would expect.  If you send a non-native resolution
to the monitor, it will have to scale it.  It's difficult for a screen
to show something that doesn't match it's pixel count (CRTs were better
for that, as graphics pixels were never a 1:1 match for CRT pixels, the
electron beam scanned across them, and the screen naturally softened
things a bit).

But when it comes to things like fonts, if you generate them at the
size you want, for the native resolution of the whole system (graphics
card and monitor), that's always got to have the best results.

Things like images either scale reasonably well or rather badly, it
depends on their content.
