pharo looses font settings on linux with retina screen

Martin Bähr
hi,

i am running pharo 40614 on linux on a mac with a retina screen.

i have not tested this on a normal laptop yet, so i don't know if the retina
resolution is the problem or the pharo version i am using. probably a bit of both.

the worst issue is that when i restart an image, the font settings are
partially lost and reverted to the original size, which is to small to read on
such a screen. and restoring the font size requires me to reopen all the affected windows.

there are also issues with some widgets not resizing to the full size of the
font, making the text only partially readable.

and then there are widgets that have the correct size, but the font remains small.

and all that is not consistent, sometimes all sizes are correct, sometimes it
is a complete mess. pretty much every time i restart after resetting the font
size i get different results. it makes pharo practically unusable on this
machine, because i am spending to much time fixing fonts, and am not getting
any work done.

is there some other setting to adjust to the resolution besides selecting a huge font?

greetings, martin.

currently fonts+retina display is not a good combination :(

can you link a screenshot of the problem you are describing?

i just ran into another issue. when i inspect that "IndexInterface open." in
the playground, the fontsize resets right there.
