\section1 High DPI Scaling
The operating systems supported by \QC implement high dots-per-inch (DPI)
The operating systems that \QC supports implement high dots-per-inch (DPI)

differently on different operating systems:

\li On \macos, \QC forces high DPI scaling, which means that it allows
Qt to use the system scaling factor as the \QC scaling factor.
\li On Windows, if no \l{High DPI}{scaling environment variables} are
set, \QC instructs Qt to detect the scaling factor and use it for
\QC.
\li On Windows, if you do not set \l{High DPI}
{scaling environment variables}, \QC instructs Qt to detect the
scaling factor and use it as the \QC scaling factor.
\li On Linux, \QC leaves it to the user to enable high DPI scaling
because the process varies so much on different distributions
and windowing systems that it cannot be reliably done automatically.
