Steps to reproduce

Have two monitors where one is set to 100% scale and the other to 125% scale. Open contour on the 100% scale monitor and move it to the other one.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

This is how contour looks on the 100% scale monitor:

And this is how it looks on the 125% scale monitor:

The horizontal distance between characters is somehow squished.

Here's another view on the 125% scale monitor, where the top one was opened on the 125% scale monitor, while the other one was opened on the 100% scale and move to the 125% scale:

This is an interesting one. I actually implemented responding to monitor changes (and thus, responding to DPI changes) in the frontend code. But I obviously did something wrong there. At least it worked back then when we only used Qt Widgets. We need to re-assure how this should be working when using QML I think... 🤔

@christianparpart I just grabbed the latest msi from https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/actions/runs/8314676103, because I thought #1487 might fix this and indeed it did.
