Evince launched with two different values of GDK_SCALE

(In reply to Samuel GOUGEON from comment #1)
> The full resolution of your hardware supposes that you are watching your 13" screen at a distance being the human punctum proximum, ~20 cm.

Sorry, I am not sure I understand. Most applications that work on HiDPI resolutions (like that on the Macbook Retina, etc.) scale up their interfaces
by a factor to make sure they look right on these screens. E.g., GNOME applications, scale according to the env variable GDK_SCALE. I attach
screenshot of how evince looks, for example, when started with GDK_SCALE=1 vs GDK_SCALE=2. When GNOME detects an HiDPI resolution it automatically
sets its applications to use GDK_SCALE=2, thus making them look right.

I am suggesting the scilab should probably do something similar, if not automatically, by means of an option in Preferences.
