Font scaling issues with Wine on 4K monitor (with Daz Studio)


A few days ago I posted a message in the Wine forums, over at WineHQ.org, about an issue I am having running Daz Studio under Wine 4.02. As I explained there, I have a 28" 4K ASUS monitor, and the font scaling under Wine, for Daz Studio is far too small. The fonts are minuscule, and almost unreadable. Unfortunately Daz Studio has no option to scale fonts or the UI itself. As of yet, there haven't been any replies to my post.

I tried adjusting the screen resolution DPI in Winecfg, but that's of no help. It does affect the menu bar, if I'm running in an emulated desktop, but otherwise has no effect at all on the scaling of Daz Studio.

I had someone on DeviantArt (where I found the instructions to set up Daz Studio under Wine, with PostgreSQL) suggested using the Font Replacements in the registry, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

Actually, I had wondered if there might be a means to set the overall DPI of the Wine window itself, or the program, even. Meaning, forcing Wine to render the program at a specific DPI, instead of being stuck with what I have now.

I had been running Daz Studio under VMWare Player, but this isn't ideal... it's pretty slow, but it does scale properly with Windows UI scaling.

Any ideas? I'm stuck on this one.

No ideas from me. I'd like to see this answered. Even before 4k's inception I was never able to make Wine or any app run in Wine usable, due to Wine's painfully small fonts matching Windows' painfully small default fonts. At least in Windows some fonts can be made a useful size, even though an app using them may be unusable while trying to use them.

I hope so as well, as using a magnifying program, like Kmag, isn't really an ideal solution. At best it's a stop-gap measure.
