HiDPI doesn't appear to be handled by Cygwin/X11

Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been reported, but I couldn't find
anything about this exact issue. I've recently found that HiDPI screens
with scaling don't appear to be handled well by Cygwin/X11 - windows
render very small in this configuration. By contrast, if I use the
VcxSrv server with the same Cygwin application it displays at the size
you'd expect.
I'd be happy to send screenshots or logs, or anything else I can send to
help figure out why this is happening. I don't know much about X, other
than that it's hard to maintain, so I appreciate this may not be an easy
problem to fix.
Best,
Hamish
