Aven on hiDPI screens

I now have a HiDPI screen: 3840x2160 and 344mm x 194mm or about 283DPI
(or 11 dots per mm).

This has caused many applications to become extremely hard to use due
to unreadable text and tiny icons. Aven is one of them. I have got
java, and GTK apps as well as the desktop and terminal stuff to work
adequately, but I can't work out what is needed for wxGTK apps like aven.

Has anyone found out how to make the aven text a readable size on such
displays? (menu items, icons, the survey tree and labels are all very
tiny).

Ideally just setting the X DPI would make everything DTRT, but it
doesn't. Clearly far too many things are actually specified in pixels,
not sizes.
