Thanks for the clarification. That explains why I have a very small font size set in calibre (8 points), which still looks as big as about the 10 or 11 points I set on my previous laptop.

So yes, I'm used to a 'normal' calibre GUI, with somewhat larger text than normal; if programs have their own font settings, this is the case for all other software I use as well. Actually, in most cases, I don't need a larger GUI; only slightly larger text. And thus, on Windows 10, I set a scaling factor of 1.5x, to obtain the GUI size and text I'm used to (with most software), and add a little bit of extra text size.

So in calibre, the GUI is already fine for me, and its own high-dpi text scaling provides the somewhat larger text.
