same global system scaling freeoffice compared with libre office

SUMMARY
The global scaling function in the display configuration module is very helpful.
It mostly works with standard programs. But if I use for example the "standard" program "freeoffice" or "softmaker" office the scaling function does not apply at all.
This is very disturbing, even painful for the eyes on a high resolution monitor. The menu and everything is very tiny. It is very hard to read.

On X, it is up to the application to actually scale correctly.

If it doesn't, there's nothing we can do.

On wayland there is a path that upscales windows that don't match the right scale.
