Comment (by pulkomandy):
Using native APIs will avoid that. Fragmentation happens when one allows
multiple toolkits to coexist, and there isn't much to be done about that.
SDL1 is a dead cause for this (it is very pixel oriented and
unmaintained). SDL2 is OpenGL based and its up to applications to do the
right thing (we won't lie to them about display resolution). Qt and
OpenJDK, I don't know, but its up to the people porting/maintaining them
to adjust.
Anyways, it seems that currently we are going with the second solution,
namely "adjust font size and everything will scale accordingly".
