The guys plugged in an x2 zoom such that it's effectively 1080x540. If it weren't for stuff like scrollbars, I'd rather do it by adjusting fontsize, because I do a lot of work in the GIMP, and the higher the resolution the happier I am for that.
If you're still struggling with this, you can override the font size (not the DPI or zoom factor) for GTK2 applications by editing .gtkrc-2.0 for the appropriate user. Mine has the line
gtk-font-name="Times New Roman, 12"
which does indeed produce text of the expected font and size.
Scrollbar width should be determined by the styles being applied. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I last looked into GTK2 styles (I threw together something that satisfied me circa 2012 and have left it alone since). It's probably a setting applied to Gtk-Scrollbar:: or Gtk-Range::, though, and the style files are plain text and can be grepped for examples.
