I've just seen that there is HiDPI support for Windows in IDEA 13.1 :
Support Windows/Linux HiDPI devices via -Dis.hidpi=true
What does this mean exactly ? How can I enable it ? Where should I set this flag ?
I have a high resolution monitor and having higher DPI fonts would be nice, will this setting help with that ? If yes, how can I take advantage of that ?

If you need to quickly change the font size while in the editor, press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings, go to Editor | General, and select Change font size with Command+Mouse Wheel or Change font size with Control+Mouse depending on your operating system.
JetBrains Mono font is used by default for the Editor.
Newly released IntelliJ IDEA 15 has true HiDPI support for Windows and Linux. It works perfectly for me. Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged intellij-idea highdpi or ask your own question.
Some applications support this and those that do provide a very nice upscaled crisp interface. Up until now, IntelliJ has not supported high DPI displays, and as a result, the native OS would just scale it up, making text look slightly blurry, as well as other elements in the UI.
I’m a user and big fan of JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA IDE. Having tried and used several Java IDEs in the past, I personally think it’s the best out there.
At the heart of HiDPI is pixel doubling: drawing an image with twice as many physical pixels in each dimension than requested in virtual pixels.
I've discovered that using checking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in compatibility tab of the Intellij executable or shortcut does the job! I had to reinstall from scratch before it worked.
