There are two settings in Plasma 5 regarding DPI. Old setting I still use is with Fonts. "Force dpi for fonts." I use 140 dpi for 1080p 15" screen. I use a little les than 148 dpi, cause I have another 22 inch external display and its gets to big there with 148 dpi. Second is in display settings (kscreen). "Scale display" or something like that in english. I think I tried to use it, but I had an issue with it, so I am still just using the font size scaling mentioned above. It seems you can set a different dpi for different screens tough so I think I will have a look at it again some day. Also it scales all elements not just fonts. I still dream on autodetecting dpi and automatic configuration for each display. I.e. the underlying gui toolkit just using points. But well its a complex issue and there have been quite some blog posts by KDE devs about proper high-dpi support. And the screen scaling is what they came up with. Thanks, -- Martin
