Re: 5.4.rc2 second release candidate for gnuplot version 5.4

[Tait <gnu...@t4...>]

I ran gp54rc1-win64-mingw.exe downloaded from SF.

The wxt, qt, libgd-png, and libcairo-png terminal output is not
affected by the text display scaling in my test. The 100% and
225% plots are identical to each other. The mouse coordinate
display and the Window title -- where it says "Gnuplot (window
id : 0)" do change based on text display scaling. Perhaps it's
an optional configuration in cairo's build? On one of the two
machines I tested (but not the other) there is a significant
difference in the default text size between pngcairo and
(gd)png.

As an aside, the gnuplot console text is unaffected, although
the menus, etc. are affected. That will make gnuplot difficult
to use (i.e. tiny) on high-resolution displays.

There are at least two other scaling options available in
Windows that I did not adjust (Scale and Layout in Display, Text
Display in Ease-of-Access, and Make Everything Bigger in
Ease-of-Access). I'm running this in Windows Sandbox to ensure a
pristine default install, and Sandbox won't let me adjust those
other settings.

I wanted to try the Windows terminal, too, but it hangs for a
few seconds and then crashes, seemingly no matter what I try to
plot.
