TeamViewer not scaling in Ubuntu and/or 4k Screens

indeed this works as a workaround

for others to clarify the steps in Ubuntu or Variants, here are the 2-4 steps:
 
Open up this file "/usr/bin/teamviewer" with a text editor (gedit in my case,) from a terminal
                  $ sudo gedit /usr/bin/teamviewer
Add this line to the beginning save, and exit, and restart TeamViewer
               'export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.33'                    (1.33 or larger 2 works well)
 
Always trying to help, Mark
p.s. in 1080p it now works without any workaround with the new Awesome NVidia 415 Driver for Linux

    Here is my current contents of the teamviewer file

    sudo gedit /usr/bin/teamviewer

    and the lines after '#' are ignored of course, but I have them to show what I have tried,

    and again today puny fonts in 4K yet again

    so here is my file for anyone who cares LOL

    "/usr/bin/teamviewer" ...

    ####################################################

    #!/bin/bash

    # If you see this message, you probably attempted to start TeamViewer.
    # Please open a terminal (Konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm),
    # navigate to this folder (type 'cd /path/to/teamviewer' [Enter])
    # then execute TeamViewer (type './teamviewer' [Enter])


    TV_SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -e "$0")")"
    source "$TV_SCRIPT_DIR/tvw_main"

    Main "$@"

    # 'export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.33'(DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!!)
    # 'export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2.00'(DOES NOT work anymore!)

    export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.33 TV_SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -e "$0")")" source "$TV_SCRIPT_DIR/tvw_main" Main "$@#

    ############################################################
