bug#55394: 29.0.50; pgtk: Text scaling of host OS is exaggerated in Emacs

[Torsten Bronger]

Using Emacs on Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland and pgtk, if I set a text
scaling factor using

    dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/text-scaling-factor 2.0

the value (2.0 in this case) is exaggerated in Emacs.  In other words,
an increase in font size increases the size in the shell (Gnome
Terminal) less strongly than in Emacs.  When compiling without pgtk, the
font sizes always match.




In GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo 
version 1.16.0)
