Curtis and Michael, thanks for the replies.

@Michael,
Yes. Increasing the factor to 1.8 makes the menus just readable, but the
Windows and Help entries do not fit in the width of the application window.
Maybe if the application frame was resizable (I think it used to be so in the
past) one could at least manually resize it to see the other main menu
entries.

As you point out, calling the command finder with CTRL+L results in fonts are
too large for the table of commands and is  difficult to read.

Using Menu Font Size above 24 points or so does not seem to make a difference.

@Curtis,
Yes I am trying Java 11 and it is the same story as Java 6 and Java 8.

Reading from http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/263 on HiFPI on Linux:
Java2D and AWT use the XLib library, which does not support HiDPI. As a
result, current Java applications can look 2 to 3 times too small on HiDPI
displays on Linux.

Is that it then? :-(

Cheers

Gabriel
