I forget the details of how it's implemented but Ubuntu 16.04 gives me a choice of 1.0,1.12,1.25,1.38,1.5 (plus many others outside that range). For my 1440 T460s' 14" screen the 1.5 setting is about right for me and I've been using it for a few months with no issues.

I believe that setting adjusts the same two scale factors mentioned above — integers for GTK+ and decimal font scaling — plus fractional scaling for the Compiz window decorations and the new QML Ubuntu toolkit apps.

  Widgets do seem to get scaled as well at 1.5 not just font sizes. If I recall correctly it changes the dpi as well.

    I should try it again. I mostly use (Ubuntu) MATE, and GNOME 3 before that, but the scaling settings was my favorite feature in Unity.
