Font sizes are huge on standard (non-HighDPI) displays

Issue #12 resolved
Alexey Dokuchaev created an issue

I've found that infobar, exif-, and pixel-popups look huge on my monitor compared to an older version 1.7.1553.8560. Consider attached patch that I had to use to bring them back to normal.

Presumably this is the result of primary development platform being macOS + Retina display? :-) It would be nice if the program could look more of less nicely and identical (ir)regardless of the monitor resolution.

    Thank you, but this patch affects fonts on high-dpi screens, like MacBook with retina.

    Of course, I understand; this is just FYI. I see that there are ratio and scale variables nearby, so it probably won't be hard to introduce multi-DPI support one day.

    I have implement font scale calculation according to frame buffer size. Also I add font_ratio config parameter. Default value is 0.5, but personally I prefer 0.75 on Linux and on macOS 0.5.

    Fix available in development branch.
