As a programmer myself, having made High DPI apps, it looks to me like it's really really close already. The Furniture database, the Furniture list second, and the toolbar seem to be the only things that have problems due to fixed pixel sizes somewhere in the code. 3D view, 2D view and dialog boxes all seem fine.
Here's how it renders on my system with 4K monitors (3840x2160) and 200% font size (192 dpi).

Re: High DPI support
Please try the solution in the FAQTexts in the furniture catalog are not displayed correctly or icons in the toolbar appear very small on my computer. How can I fix that? As you're a developer and Java 9 is supposed to fix this issue, it would be nice if you could also try to install Java 9 on your computer and run Sweet Home 3D with it, either with Java Web Start or with the JAR Executable version (About dialog box will confirm which Java version is used). I don't have any HiDPI PC running under Windows and wonder how it works...

Hello Emmanuel It's a shame you haven't heard back from Leif. I too have been having a lot of trouble with the same issues - win10x64, SH3D V5.7, 4K monitor, GLX950 video card, Java 8-181, all drivers fully up-to-date - have tried playing with the two ini files to no avail - this morning went back to the screen resolution and changed the scale back from 200% to recommended 150% and the catalog fonts become readable but too small for comfort. So I surmise that the row heights for each line are not high enough to accommodate the 200% scale so any suggestions that will increase the row heights so that a higher scaling than 150% could be used would be welcome. Also - the size of the icons is very small and even at a scaling of 200% too small. This issue has been going on for such a long time. I did try another way of getting around the issue - opened up a new user profile and opened the program - everything worked well on the plans - good size fonts and icons - but the 3D image was only 25% of the screen. Unfortunately - for some reason this morning when I opened with the JNLP file everything reverted back to unreadable fonts and the same very small icons. Love your program and have spent a huge number of hours on it. Regards Lawrie

Note, in addition to High DPI support working with the JDK 13, the following warnings are displayed, which may be of interest to you.
