[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#1105050: tk9.0: Too large fonts in Tk windows when Tk is usied in an XFCE session on high DPI displays

[Sergei Golovan]

Package: tk9.0
Version: 9.0.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When XFCE session is used on a high DPI display, Tk 9.0 windows show very
large fonts by default. Their size is doubled. Looks like Tk sets an
additional scaling factor for the fonts from

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gdk/WindowScalingFactor

but since the XFT font rendered in Tk does not depend on this scaling
facor (in contrast to GTK widgets), fonts just become too large.
