Bug 505502 – mail-client/thunderbird-24.3.0 - "Welcome to Earlybird" window fonts do not scale with DPI

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description headcrabextra 2014-03-23 19:57:35 UTC]

Created attachment 373358 [details]
screenshot of the problem

See the attached screenshot: buttons in the background show the normal size of font, which seems to be scaled with dpi - good, readable size. And see the font size in the mentioned welcome window with font hardly readable on my screen.

Information about my DPI from xdpyinfo:
dimensions:    1920x1080 pixels (294x165 millimeters)
resolution:    166x166 dots per inch
