Did you try to increase: Ardour Preferences > Appearance > GUI and font-scaling? |

Hi x42, I did (eventually) find that setting, and there are two issue with it: 1) It's damn near impossible to read the text and navigate the menus leading to the option (remember, the fonts are unreadable on some screens) 2) It doesn't go far right enough. It becomes readable on my laptop (330 DPI), but still too small for comfort. I still get eye squints and pushing head closer to screen. My main issue, from a UX perspective, is that the scaling should just work (TM). There's nothing wrong to allowing the user to customize the scaling. That being said, being greeted by an ant colony is poor UX. I do however revise my "Satisfaction" estimate from -inf dB to -80 dB. |

Me having the same problem. I've installed the Debian package of Ardour (5.12) and started Ardour the first time. All dialogues are utterly small on my high-resolution display (280dpi) and the worst thing is, I can't open the preferences dialogue without going through the first initialization and opening a project and all this with an unreadable screen. Why don't you respect the setting of GDK_DPI_SCALE and GDK_SCALE? |

I see this as well, on a DELL XPS 13 with Ubuntu 18.04, screen resolution 3840 x 2160. Ardour is unusable. Tried the Ubuntu package first, then the installer downloaded from the web site; no difference. Surprising that even going to 400% screen scaling doesn't seem to affect Ardour at all. |

Since Ardour 6, when Ardour is first started (without existing preferences) an initial scaling factor is guessed depending on the screen resolution and the first step in the "new user wizard" allows to configure the scaling factor (which can later be changed in the usual place in the preferences). This should resolve this issue. |
