Description
On Windows 10 with 4k monitor, parts of Tiled interface look too small for comfortable work. Mainly, the Icons are too small, but in some places fonts are hard to read as well (see screenshots).
The immediate solution would be use SVG icons which can scale better, but the ideal long-term solution (IMHO) would be to have a setting which would allow to scale the whole interface - that would be an immense help for people with weak vision since even properly scaled SVG icons (like the new Replace Tileset icon) are still might be too small for some for comfortable work.

Research direction
Reproduce the Windows 10 4K display problem using the screenshots as a reference, then inspect the desktop interface and icon-scaling entry points. Clarify whether the goal is SVG icon support, a whole-interface scaling setting, or both. Done should mean that icons and fonts are comfortably readable at high DPI without harming the existing interface.
