I'm using fully updated Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.
In Ubuntu Gnome, you only allow for integer scaling of things for high
DPI monitors. While in theory this sounds good, on a 27 inch 4k
monitor like mine, restricting it to integers is a problem. 1x is
annoyingly small, and 2x is WAY too big. You need a 1.5x, and
presumably to just allow most noninteger values to future proof the
distribution given 8k monitors and all sorts of new and weird things
coming out, like windows 10 has.
Photos of the two annoying sizes are available here (it won't let me
attach two files):

I apologize for my photography skills in advance., you'll have to look
at the ruler for scale to see the problem. Please contact me if you
need any more information etc.
