Epiphany scaling factor 1.5 to make thing propminent (in most cases 1.25 applied)

Increasing system font scaling factor results in messy rendering of the page in Epiphany.

2. Open Epiphany browser and observe the rendered page and Dev Tools

Actual Results:
Messy and broken layout - some elements are large, some are still small (like links, buttons etc).

Expected Results:
Page and all related elements are scaled proportionally to the host font scaling factor.

Build Date & Hardware:
Epiphany 43.0 WebKitGTK 2.38.1 Fedora Linux 37 (Workstation Edition) x86_64 GNOME 43.2 Wayland

Additional Information:
Firefox behaves in same conditions enlarging font and layout
