rubo, How can you be running 1.5 and still be using Qt4 ?
Can you show a screenshot for Scribus v1.5 (not 1.4.x) using Qt5.3 or higher?

Edit: clarity

The screenshot is not 1.4 at all. I use scribus-trunk 1.5.1svn always

And I use Ubuntu 14.10, not possible to change qt

Can't you see the problem, when you set global zoom to 2x?

rubo, thanks for screenshot. I've made the image smaller so it will display (needs to be under 500k to display in the Bugtracker).

The Hi-DPI patch that was applied should fix this, but I can’t test on Ubuntu right now.

the Font-size on 0014023 is ok in Unity on Ubuntu 15.10, but 0013805 and 0013204 are still unsolved in 1.5.2svn~r21332~20160517~ppa53~ubuntu15.10.1

But I cannot reopen those tickets

13805 is a duplicate so must not be reopened. And 0013204 requires Qt 5.6 which ubuntu 15.10/16.04 do not have natively.

0013204 is not an issue only to QT5.6 because it is the same on my laptop. and still exists, but I cannot post this comment there. Why is 0013204 closed?

So 0013805 is a duplicate of this ticket here?

0013204 has been closed because it has been tested that it works and there are even screenshots posted for eg. in 0014068 that shows the fix works. But as mentionned previously, for the fix to work, Scribus must be compiled with Qt 5.6 headers. Compiling it with Qt 5.5 headers and using Qt 5.6 afterwards won't work.

Consequence: as current Ubuntu distros do not have Qt 5.6, it is likely that you won't be able to get packages working correctly in respect to these HiDPI issues from PPAs.

mapreri, what are the chances of getting the PPA for scribus-trunk to use Qt5.6 ?

user5122

  ~0041190

What version of Qt due have? Versions before Qt 5.6 need an environment variable (export QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2) to enable hi-DPI mode. With Qt 5.6 it should work out of box.

Kunda: < 0. I won't get the PPA to depend on a Qt that is not the one used in the system, because that can very very easily break other installed applications (besides, it would be prohibitive for me to maintain). Much less on a Qt version that is not even in the current development release.

Qt is not a random library that you can just backport and shrug hoping for the best.
(technically speaking, one could have 2 Qt installation, but I don't want/can't maintain that)

mapreri, thanks for the elaboration and you position on the issue.

Thanks to Khaled, people can see that one can run Scribus trunk on Trusty, as Khaled got it to work for Travis-CI (https://github.com/scribusproject/scribus/blob/master/.travis.yml#L25-L34). It may be time for people to upgrade to Xenial <shrug>
