that's odd, i only have Windows 7 so i can't reproduce this, the hi-dpi
scaling apparently exits since Windows 8; so i've tried to create a
patch that reads the DPI setting from the registry and just disables the
test if it's not the default, which is now in master.

because reading the registry from Java is apparently an area of active
research [1] i've converted the test to C++ first.
