Fonts on linux with a 4K monitor.

I have a 4k monitor, and run linux.  I found that no matter what I did I could not get all the fonts in editors and menues to display at a readable resolution.  Admittedly my eyes aren't the best.  What I found to work:

Edit the soapui.sh fiel (in bin dir) and change the jre used there to the openjdk:
if [ -f "$SOAPUI_HOME/jre/bin/java" ]
then
  #JAVA=$SOAPUI_HOME/jre/bin/java
  JAVA=/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk/bin/java
else

And in the preferences tab for UI Settings select "use native look and feel".

 

This doesn't seem to work with Oracle's jre's.

Now the fonts are nice and big (the look and feel is ugly... but legible).

    I had to revert that change because the UI kept hanging and I had to kill SoapUI :(

    So now I just keep a text editor handy and copy and paste text into the tiny little fields on SoapUI.

    Argggggg
