Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with `briefcase dev` on Windows 10, then inspect the font-scaling path used by the Toga WinForms backend. Compare the window name and menu updates with other frame items when Windows font scaling changes. Done means all items in the frame adapt to the new system font size.
