why?

for emacs, higher dpi mostly just means larger fonts.

if images ever need scaling, that should not be hard to do in emacs
itself.

gtk is horrid.  (1 was ok; it only went downhill when novel got
involved, and that trend has continued.)

and the push for hb+cxr over m17n+xft means xaw(3d) w/ cairo should
become more and more common.

(i don't use menus, but a quick test of yesyerday's master with -Q has
working menus.)
(gentoo with USE='X Xaw3d cairo harfbuzz' plus some others.)
