To my best kknowledge, Java's support for HiDpi displays is still
unsatisfying.  It works fine on MacOS (though slow at times) but not at
all on Windows or Linux.  Applications can remedy that in their own
regime by fetching some properties of the host system.  Here is some
information in JavaFX context

I'd be curious to learn about sensible solutions too.

Best,
Stephan
