I had a pair of the equivalent samsung 27" monitors (850 type) and the
fonts worked OK. But for some reason when I went to the 4K UHD
resolution, the fonts just basically fell apart into this tiny world.
It's a bit annoying...

Have not had an issue personally, running WQHD on a 27" ultrasharp. but
was thinking of that exact issue with dells new 5k 27". Some of it is just
personal preference and what one runs. But something developers will need
to account.

So I got want I always wanted... the best freeken monitors I could get my

monitor which just came out, so be it for getting my hands on the latest
technology....)
So I've run into a rather unexpected problem, I have a monitor with too
much resolution. I never thought that could possibly happen. My main
problem is that the font on all the applications I run are just too small
to read. So I spent time digging through all the font options (I use the
Gnome desktop environment) and found an option which would scale up all the
fonts by a factor of 2. So that kinda helped. Now my fonts all look odd.
Basically, I've ended up with a rather ugly looking environment with
mismatched font sizes and icons. For example when I run thunderbird, most
of the fonts are readable, but the text in the actual emails comes up in
the default font size of 10 or 11 points or something like that and I cant
read it. I can use the wheel button to zoom the text so I can read it but
its just an awkward work around.
So, has anyone run into this UHD problem? Are there any gnome set ups
designed for UHD resolution which fix all the font and icons to be working
together to give one a pleasing visual experience when viewing all the
application windows?
Thanks!
Steve.
