Well, that’s what I call a half-baked solution: It means you turn your
screen into a standard-DPI one. For scaling old apps, I wrote Vncdesk:

Another option to make EMACS compatible with HiDPI could be to use a
high resolution icon theme. At the moment, I’ve set `GDK_SCALE=1`, and I
scale the toolbar:

I assume other elements can also be scaled. Almost invisible at the
moment are for example checkboxes in `customize`.
