I updated to 17.10 from 17.04.

I activated the fractional scaling by running the following command. 

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

Then, I changed 125% scale. The scale was changed, but the fonts and icons are so dirty.

enter image description here

The launcher icon and font in Google Chrome and other application except the system setting are dirty.

How can I resolve this problem?

For some reason, font in the system setting is not dirty...

Looks like it's a work in progress. GNOME only supports integer scaling properly (source).

Quote:

Currently, we only allow to scale windows by integral factors (typically 2). This proves somewhat limiting as there are many systems that are just in between the dpi ranges that are good for scale factor 2, or unscaled.

Enabling Wayland fixed it somewhat in my case.

Open terminal and write

$ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

In the editor find #WaylandEnable=false, uncomment it by deleting the #.

Set WaylandEnable=true and save the file.

Reboot your device. Or reboot GDM3 writing in terminal

$ sudo systemctl restart gdm3
