[squeak-dev] Issues with high pixel density display

Hi,

I managed to get Squeak-5.2 running in FreeBSD.12 and I am very happy 
with that.

My problem when using this platform is mostly related to my screen 
resolution. I am running FreeBSD in VMware Fusion virtual machine, 
running in a 13' MacBook.

My screen resolution in X Window is 2560x1600. So, be default everything 
is tiny. I had to do various tweaking in order to have most of the 
software appear with a nice face.

In Squeak I almost got all working fine. There are only a few exceptions 
illustrated in the pictures below.
1] The PaintBox is terribly squeezed
2] The input bar in the Preference Browser in too small.
2.1] A similar thing happens with String, see picture example about the 
MIDI player.

In general, there are ways to fix this but they are specific to each 
kind of GUI tool set.
For example, all Qt applications can be fixed with 'qt5ct', much of the 
classic X stuff can be fixed setting 'Xft.dpi: 180'. Thunderbird has its 
own...

Is there something specific I can do to fix Squeak ?

bye
Nicola
