Everything = else is blurry. For my 4k display at work I use no scaling, but 192 dpi with an extra thick= window border theme. I have extra wide panels as well and most icons scale= with dpi. For some non-GTK applications I have to tweak their theming to adjust to th= e larger DPI. With the font I suggest switching from a bitmap font to something vector ba= sed. At such high definitions, single pixels aren't an issue anymore.
