Public bug reported:

I've just installed Ubuntu 14.10 on a Macbook Pro Retina 13. I tried
setting the menu and title bar scaling to 1.75 but the icons did not
scale up appropriately; they stayed at a factor of 1 AFAICT. Certain
apps, eg Nautilus and the settings app, seemed to be using the icon size
to determine layout, so the text appeared cramped and some was
truncated. I increased the setting to 2 and then the icons did scale up
(but not the pointer, see #1359211). However, now title bars, menus and
other text-based widgets are larger than ideal. I can reduce the font
sizes with unity-tweak-tool but it doesn't seem to affect the title bar
size etc.

I presume the lack of icon scaling is because GTK only supports integer
scaling settings and Unity is rounding down the setting for it. Please
could it be changed to round up for fractions over 0.5.
