Yes it does as I understand things: the huge font is really
because the pixel counts for x and Y are set small and pixel
replication is in use to get to the actual pixels
in useon the display.

Without the hdmi_safe=3D1 (when such works), the pixel counts
are accurate and scaling is normal, including in X11 and
such, if I understand correctly. (Not that I've tested such.)
