 Ok, guessed where the font size is - had to increase it from the 9 pt that I use in 1.4.6 to 27 pt.

I also renamed ~/.scribus and ~/scribus - 9 pt are default?
Perhaps this has to do something with hidpi?

 If it helps...
Opening Scribus and then files -> open font is small.
<s>Opening an older file directly, font is large. No matter what version created with.</s>

Hey Khaled, any ideas how to fix this (if this is HiDPI related)

Are you using a Hi-DPI screen? What version of Qt are you using?

Laser

No Hi-DPI screen.
Qt is 5.6.0

Are you running KDE or GNOME? What happens if you set QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion before running Scribus?

More info:
xfce
Qt 5.6.0
Device Pixel ratio: 3
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion has no effect

It seems to me this is a Qt bug since the calculated pixel ration is wrong as it should have been 1 in this case not three. I think the best way forward is to report this to Qt. You should be able reproduce it with any other Qt application by setting the environment variable QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1.

To fix your immediate issue you can set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 (to make it permanent add “export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1” to your ~/.profile file, and re-login).

QT_SCALE_Factor doesn't work.
I fixed it for me with setting font size to 27.
As long as no one else has this problem, this report can be closed.

What device pixel ratio do you get after setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 (not that this is case sensitive)?

user5122

  ~0040832

Can you also try QT_SCALE_FACTOR=.33333?

Even better export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0

I found the problem.
It's the 2nd screen.

I have a TV (and home-cinema) on hdmi beside the monitor on DVI.
Without the TV (and my music) scale factor 1 is correct.
With TV on device pixel ratio is always 3 and font too small, no matter what scale factor. With TV off always 1 and font size ok.

This is definitely a Qt bug. Can you please report this to Qt developers? (I’d gladly do it myself, but they will probably need information I can not provide since I can’t reproduce this myself).

Can you also try to export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 and test any other Qt application and see if it exhibits the same issue?

I cannot reproduce anymore.
Perhaps Qt changed something or my PC had a hickup...
If it appears again I will contact Qt.

Thanks to Khaled for the work.

I am unable to reproduce this bug using master/trunk on my 3200x1800 13" monitor on Fedora 24.
