I've recently downloaded many versions of Pentaho Report Designer (prd) and I face the same problem : the user interface is way too small on my 1920*1080 screen.
How can I increase the dpi and the icon/font size ?
I work on Windows 10.
I use PRD 8.1, on Windows, in report-designer.bat I change the following parameter to java launcher
-Dswing.useSystemFontSettings=true
For icons, Java JDK 9 and above should be able to fix it automatically because it will scale with the Windows DPI. Although, DPI can be changed with
-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

My MFC app written with VS2019 displays correctly at 1920x1080, but when I deploy it to a 1920x1080 laptop it shows up at about 1/4 size. I have toggled DPI Awareness, but without effect. When I deploy it on a laptop that already has VS2019 on it, it displays correctly.
Problem solved. I had been using a font that didn't exist on the target machines. It is 20 points high, and the default font is 8 points high. MFC sizes the dialog to fit the font size. All I had to do was copy and install the font file. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. For what it is worth, in the past I have always used a 3rd party deployment tool that packaged in the fonts, and now I have learned that the Visual Studio supplied tool doesn't do that.
I'm working on a legacy VB6 application in Windows 10. I'm currently trying to get the application to run seamlessly in Windows 10 and I'm coming across some issues. One of them is the SSTab control. See Image below:
Style, Tab Orientation, All the properties are identical, but as can be seen the text in Windows 7 looks proper vs Win 10. It seems to float left and when selected, one of the S's seems to get cut off the top and added in the 2nd line.
Anyone have any idea?
Try choosing Win 7 in the version part of compatibility. There is the App Compat Kit from MS that allows you to set thousands of compat settings rather than just a few common ones in that compatibility dialog https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=7352
Hi I got a lil problem with a mobile handheld computer (Motorola MC9200) running Windows CE 7.0.
Within the browser (Internet Explorer + software like Naurtech CETerm) there is some font-smoothing or cleartype. Problem about that is that , and font with a css style of font-weight 900 for example look exactly the same as normal font. So you can't tell the difference.
Another problem would be the panning. I'm running a fullscreen web application and the user shouldn't be able to pan the whole screen 1 cm out. Funny thing is while the user is panning the whole picture the font-smoothing/cleartype is disabled and you can tell the difference between font-weights.
Anyone no a solution to that? I already searched the registry for cleartype and font but didn't find anything helpful. I don't have other WinCE 7.0 devices so I don't know if that problem is WinCE 7.0 related or related to the device.
I don't have a device at hand, but WEC 7.0 offers the SystemParametersInfo function that sounds a bit like what you're after.
Call it with uiAction set to SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING to disable ClearType on a system-wide basis:
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, FALSE, NULL, SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
Earlier versions of Windows CE had a registry setting to allow OEM's to disable ClearType, but I've been unable to locate this setting in WEC 7.0, so my guess is it's no longer supported and ClearType is always enabled by default.
i recently installed fresh win 7 pro OS on brand new DELL i5 desktop machine. while trying to use word 2013, i noticed that text written in Monotype Hadassah font is displayed using Times new roman font.
is anybody noticed such an issue?
thanks.
after some experiments:
the fonts works OK in notepad - which means that probably the problem is in office 2013 and not in the OS itself.
since the font is registered as restricted with respect to the "embedding" ability i thought that it may be due to this restriction, but nevertheless, removing the restriction ( i recommend on TTFPatch utility didn't change the behaviour.
interestingly, i found that saving the document as PDF resulted in correct rendering of the
font - which is pretty satisfactory to me.
this is quite a strange thing I've run into.
I've been developing Windows Phone Apps for over a year now, and even with the WP8 switch i never seen this before.
If i take my WP 7.1 app and upgrade it to WP 8 the font gets quite messed up, shown in the two screenshots below. (Both taken from my WP8 Lumia 620)
WP 7.1 Version -
WP 8 Version -
Quite strange indeed, the font used is "visitor1 TT1 BRK"
from http://www.dafont.com/visitor.font
The font is set as a BlendEmbeddedFont and used in XAML like this:
FontFamily="/TronRadio;component/Fonts/Fonts.zip#Visitor TT1 BRK"
Is it a .NET 4.5 thing that needs to be set or some other kind of problem?
It is the first time I've seen this problem, i have upgraded other apps with embedded fonts without running into this.
One note is that the font shows up fine in the Design Workplace (Visual Studio 2012 and Blend).
However on the Windows Phone 8 and Emulators the above problems shows.
Thanks
Why don't you select the font in Expression Blend and then Embed it separately for Windows Phone 7 and 8 apps. This might help.
