No, fonts should not be independent from DPI, but now some fonts are
scaling just like the others.
To clearly see the result, set comfortable DPI, so fonts are
reasonably
sized (if this value is close to 96, better use something larger,
like
130 or 200 to see the effect).
When you run "git-gui" from the master branch, look at the fonts
for:
- menubar and menu (explicitly set, scaled with DPI - our baseline)
- buttons in the lower part (Commit, Rescan, etc), labels like
"Current
branch" - (unscaled, visibly smaller than menubar)
- you can also open "Edit -> Options", and everything there will be
smaller size as well.
After applying patch, all fonts are scaled equally (e.q. - small
DPI -
everything small, large DPI - everything big).
If, however - you see second behavior on both cases, I'm really
interested to get more details:
I see the second behavior regardless of the patch, i.e. with small DPI
all fonts are small, with large DPI all fonts are large.
The label "Current branch" is the same size as other fonts except
when I
select a different font size in Edit->Options as "Main Font".
- What OS and Tcl/Tk are you using?
I remember few years ago it worked fine on my ArchLinux, so if other
distros aren't updated something yet, it may still work.
On Arch we have Tcl/Tk 8.6.14.
And to go even deeper, we may compare results from `wish`:
package require Tk 8.5
8.6.14
font configure TkDefaultFont
-family sans-serif -size -12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline
0
-overstrike 0
font actual TkDefaultFont
-family {Nokia Sans S60} -size 9 -weight normal -slant roman
-underline
0 -overstrike 0
I have this:
% package require Tk 8.5
8.6.12
% font configure TkDefaultFont
-family sans-serif -size -12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0
-overstrike 0
%
% font actual TkDefaultFont
-family Arial -size 9 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0
-overstrike 0
%
I am using openSUSE Leap 15.5 under KDE Frameworks 5.103.0

Thanks! I tried booting into Fedora/37 with the same Tk version, and it
indeed does not have this scaling problem.
Then, I downgraded packages on Arch to 8.6.12 and 8.6.13 - also no
problem.
The only version affected is 8.6.14.
That's probably a bug in Tk (and there's quite a few reported, mostly
about "tk scaling" https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/info/1de3a48312, we
don't use it explicitly in git-gui but on my system it is set to 1.3)
