The purging of pt as a physical unit doesn't just show up in unexpected page text
sizing. It also
has affected optional themes, and some internal theming. Mix in a GTK3 problem[1][2] and
HiDPI
mutations, and you get a good definition of unpredictable.

Recent change breaks HiDPI setup based on calculated or forced DPI
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274
UI text sizes no longer inherited from Linux system

GTK3 apps not honoring system-wide DPI settings nor KDE mouse cursor
This bug's fix counters the GTK problem upstream created. I've not seen evidence
any other distro
has offered this solution.
Hi Felix!
Sounds like Windows font desaster arrived on linux, at last :-(
In the meantime I found a workaround for GTK2 applications (some use way too big fonts):
cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.unison-gtkrc-2.0
chande the font size there - looks like it overrides dpi settings, then use that config
for the applation:
GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.unison-gtkrc-2.0 unison-gtk
I think that's what you get when marketing takes over development.
