Please explain what you mean by bad scaling.

What is "it", and how to you "patch" it?

It isn't about 120 DPI. It's about DPIs that vary more than a little
from whatever the page designer uses or assumes. Average DPIs have on
their way up for quite some time, and won't be stopping any time soon.

It used to be that assumed DPI was substantially higher than real DPI.
That caused designers to think defaults too big, which most still do,
even though that assumption is now quite broken, particularly for those
using widescreen displays.
