I am trying to play freeciv on Ubunti 16.04 on a Dell XPS 15.
This has a hidpi screen.

I have tried both the QT and GTK2 versions of freeciv. Unfortunate everything is very tiny.
I have had to change various scaling factors and sizes to get other areas of ubuntu working with hidpi.
Is it possible to get freeciv usable in HIDPI? Does anyone know how this is achieved?

In Qt 5.5 u can try QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=auto freeciv-qt
In Qt >= 5.6 try QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 freeciv-qt

if it works add this to environment or just to menu shortcut

The Gtk 3 client can also be scaled. I use to run it, in my case I have high dpi (200) and no scaling configured otherwise.
