Problem with fractional scaling
I'm running GNOME with fractional scaling (150%) on a HiDPI display. The Calibre UI looks very good here, except the ebook-viewer. It opens ebooks initially too small (not fitting the the window size) which can be fixed my resizing the window slightly. But besides that, the fonts (both, of the e-book and the viewer-ui) look coarse and washed-out.

With a scaling of 100% or 200%, everything looks ok.

Is there anything I can do about it? I wonder why it happens only in ebook-viewer.

(Running the official binary install (calibre 7.3) on Fedora Linux 39)
