[GNC] Blurry Font Issue on Windows

[Taull Boi]

Hi John,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried various settings under "Change high DPI
settings". There are three options under "High DPI scaling override":
application, system, system (enhanced). If I enable this scaling option and
use "system" or "system (enhanced)" all gnucash fonts become blurry on my
system. If I use "application", then I see the same behavior as when I
disable this option: most fonts look good except for a few. This appears to
suggest that Gnucash is handling the font scaling mostly correctly but it
is broken for certain widgets.
