Description Jehan 2017-03-21 23:04:14 UTC 
When tweaking a custom scaling factor in GNOME tweak tool, I noticed that the font size on GTK+2 applications were wrong.
The solution is (got from #gtk+):

- reset the the xsettings overrides set by gnome-tweak-tool (under org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings in dconf-editor);
- change the scaling-factor under org.gnome.desktop.interface

I confirm that with these settings, I get correct font size both on GTK+2 and 3 applications. Apparently the automatic HiDPI detection in GNOME works fine as well. Only customization through the tweak tool doesn't.
Thanks!

Looks like this is already reported in #741735. That bug report could definitely do with a better title :)
