scale dpi in linux for high res monitor
I'm working on a 2560 x 1440 laptop display, running CentOS 7. WinCC OA seems immune to font size adjustment in both KDE and Gnome. How do I scale the gui?

Yes, our panel files store object sizes in pixels, thus they should look the same regardless of your system font settings (which I agree is cumbersome for "dialog" style panels ...).
To automatically get larger panels, scaled by some standard factor, for all panels, you should use the config entry
or whatever factor fits you best

initialZoomFactor = 1.2

That worked pretty well. I set it at 1.6 - looks functional. It doesn't touch the log viewer though, which has it's own font size settings. Changing the log viewer font size doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Great.
The LogViewer is a separate application - it's not a panel and therefore the zoom factor setting does not apply.
Changing the font with the LogViewer settings dialog should show you the selected font. Play with different fonts and sizes.
