[QGIS-Developer] Incorrect hidpi setting in 3.0 for OSX

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi,

sorry if this does not apply to mac (I'm not a Mac user), but did you try
to experiment with the following environment variables?

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR
QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO

the effect may be different with different Qt versions and platforms.
