Description
Although views currently scale according to the DPI settings for the monitor, the text currently does not. The `TraitCollection` type has the necessary information which needs to be wired through to `FontMetrics`, `FontDescriptor`, and `Font`. The `Window` type conforms to `TraitEnvironment` and will send the `traitCollectionDidChange(_:)` which allows the responder chain to react and re-size fonts on views conforming to `ContentSizeCategoryAdjusting`.

Research direction
Start by tracing TraitCollection through FontMetrics, FontDescriptor, and Font, then inspect Window's TraitEnvironment and traitCollectionDidChange(_:) flow. Done means text scales with monitor DPI settings and responds by resizing fonts on views conforming to ContentSizeCategoryAdjusting.
