SDL2: Linux High-DPI rendering problem

[VitoVan]

System: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Resolution: 1920 x 1400 Scale: 200%

Lem version: 372cb5e6b44660f1bac1bde09de673d34a1f97e3

Running from source with SBCL.

With the latest Lem from master, does this still happening?

[VitoVan]

I haven't got time to test this, will do it in this week.

I kept getting the following error when trying on Ubuntu 22.04:

~~Will investigate this later.~~

This was just my network issue.

[VitoVan]

It seems that the original problem has gone, but the current problem was the small default font.

Should we close this issue and create another one?

[VitoVan]

The above build was using this commit: be98202

[ajoberstar]

I see the same issue building the SDL2 version from the v2.2.0 tag (I use 300% scale in Gnome on Debian Bookworm).

EDIT: To clarify, I mean not the original issue, but the latest screenshot @VitoVan provided that show's very small font and ui elements.

[garlic0x1]

you can use the font-size-set command to permanently set a font size in SDL2, it is stored in ~/.config/lem/config.lisp (or wherever your lem-home is) to persist between sessions. Hope this helps.

@cxxxr I think this issue can be closed
