I recently migrated to Linux mint from windows. Downloaded Scilab and installed it without problem but when I open it, the font and icon scaling is wrong, as you can see in the snapshot. I tried to increase the font under preferences but that only works for the scinotes and console code. I also tried to change my display scale settings but that didn’t work too. I found a similar post where the solution was to replace a file named “scirenderer.jar“ inside the installation directory. I tried it but it didn’t work. Is this problem specific to my OS or has someone else run into this? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
What kind of display do you have ? Is it of HIDPI type (i.e. 3 840×2 160 or more) ?

I have a display with 1920x1080 (16:9) resolution. I guess this makes it HiDPI?
No this is classical HD, so the scaling problem is not due to the display hardware, but rather due to the configuration of your Window manager, BTW which one does use Linux Mint ? Xfce, Gnome, or else ?
