[New-bugs-announce] [issue31500] IDLE: Tiny font on HiDPI display

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

My new laptop has a HiDPI display (3840x2160). IDLE (as well as other Tk applications) looks ugly on it. The font of menu and dialogs is tiny. The font used in editor and shell looks normal size. I use Linux with X Window.

It seems to me this issue doesn't have solution. Related links:
