Package: tk8.6
Version: 8.6.6-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using a display with a large DPI (>300). Applications setting their
default font to a sane value in physical units (such as points) have
their fonts properly scaled. Tk applications that don't use custom fonts
(or even don't have an setting to change fonts) and rely on TkDefaultFont
instead, unfortunately, render as very tiny.
One way to fix that would be to change library/ttk/fonts.tcl to use
physical units (which is what the attached patch does). Above there is
a comment that advises against that, though.
What else can we do to make Tk applications work better on high-DPI
displays?

This particular bug is already fixed in tk8.6 version 8.6.8-4, with
very similar patch.

There are a few bugs open at the Tcl/Tk bugtracker, which are dvoted
High DPI, particularly:
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/1fba28d328b00704236b
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/3550691fffffffffffff
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/3550691fffffffffffff
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/0917069c05e9c354a27c
I'd say that apart from checkbuttons and radiobuttons, everything else
looks fine (for Tk, not Ttk,
which way depends on the theme used).
So, I'm closing the bug
Cheers!
