Comment(by dnarvaez):

 I'm not aware of current webkitgtk API that can scale images up. And if
 you try to do it you will screw up all the layouts. About the fonts, you
 can probably set a default and minimum size, which helps a bit but I don't
 think solves the problem on many (maybe most) websites. And again it
 breaks layouts. Zoom requires user intervention and requires scrolling
 around, so I don't think it's a good solution either.

 What you want to do on a high dpi screen is so to layout at a lower
 resolution and then zoom it up. We was doing something similar with the
 mozilla based web browser (though not exactly the same I think), so I
 suspect if we don't fix this it will be felt as a regression.

 About submitting upstream, I'm first trying to figure out how to make this
 work... if I get there adding API for it shouldn't be hard.
