hdpi revisited on Linux
hello,

I trying to get Sweet Home 3D to display better, larger text, in Linux running with a 4K monitor. I've downloaded the latest version, 5.7.

Java is locally installed, from webupd8 ppa.

java version "9.0.4" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.4+11) 
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.4+11, mixed mode)

but it looks like the distribution has its own local jre8?
I created this file "SweetHome3D.l4j.ini" and placed it in
the expanded installed directory and in ./lib from there.
the file has this single line :

Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2

I thought I had this displaying nicely in an older version of Sweet Home 3D, 5.2 release. but this doesn't seem to work in 5.7?

Is there something else I can do to make the text look larger in Linux? I'm use a pre-release of xubuntu Bionic 18-04.

thanks
