Using the a couple of Tumbleweed[1] drops, with a 4K display[2], the installer
GUI is displaying small fonts.

Without knowing what data may be needed, I took a swag at data that may be
needed.  These will be attached shortly.

I captured from the Ctrl-Alt-F8 console, an X error which may be innocuous.  

As is mentioned in Comment 69[3], this situation appears to be a common issue. 
One idea is rather than trying to keep abreast with the latest and greatest
hardware, take the Clonezilla/GPartd strategy and present the user the option
to '2x' the display.

::: GUI observations :::
o GUI has tiny text
o CTRL-ALT-F1 & F8 - tiny text
o CTRL-ALT-F2-F6 & F9 - text is fine
