Jehan: re font-size

  The font size can be controlled by the theme, but to judge from this post, there may be some operating 
system/window manager effects as well:

  Maybe it's seeing "14 point" and deciding that as it's a high dpi screen, it needs to be drawn bigger. I 
also don't have a high dpi monitor so this is all speculation.

I agree, since I am working on the icon size customization (the
"future plans" Kevin told about earlier). Though I must say it's not
easy to prioritize and see what others are going through because I
don't have access to any HiDPI screen, not even to test, even less for
my own daily use.

I have also a question, about when you say that text is also too
small. From what I understood, GIMP should simply follow whatever text
size settings your operating system is configured with. Are you saying
that font size is bigger everywhere else but not in GIMP? I think this
should not happen (but once again, I can hardly test myself without
such a screen).
Thanks.

Jehan
