Tk window is very small on high-pixel monitors

It does not matter, which scale factor I choose, the real size stays the same. (Fedora 40)

well, I thought those "scale" factors are meant just for fonts, and the fonts look indeed huge. I think we have --geometry for cases like this. Unless TK allows us to specify geometry as a portion of the screen, but I doubt it...

That we don’t have proper font scaling inside Tk is a different issue. (Or rather, we have font scaling but it is somewhat relative to the available space.)

But the Gnome setting should indeed scale everything. (There is a hidden setting for the Gnome font sizes that is different from the scaling.)

ahah, so the solution should surely be to re-write the whole TK stuff by using proportions of the available screen pixels? Like pelita is 30% of the screen size by default? So we can define fonts also as proportion of the available screen estate... Or get rid of the GUI completely.

Kind of, yeah
