The only scaling setting in tweak tool is the one in the Fonts section,
which appears to be exposing org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-
factor. It scales the *text*. It scales all text relative to its
original size. So if I set it to 2.0 the text that's half size will be
the correct size, but the text that already *was* the correct size will
be twice that size, and mostly too big for the windows it's in, as only
the text has been scaled, not most of the other user interface
components.

As described in the original post under the paragraph starting
"gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor"

I've never seen the point of that setting. It's always done that, but
only setting the text scale without the rest of the user interface is
useless.
