Font issues in the Teechart editor designtime windows

[bergetro]

Hi,

Anyone know how to correct the font size issue in the Teechart windows (Editor, etc.)? It seems to relate to the default font definition in
Visual Studio 2013, but I'm not able to find the correct element type to change.

(VS 2013 and Windows 7)

Hello Bergetro,

I have done a simple test to try to detect the problem you are experiencing, that consists in change the text size of computer. The results are:

If we use the size text at smaller (100%) the problem doesn't appear

If we increment the size text at Medium (125%) the problem appears

Therefore, the problem you are experiencing is caused so you don't have the size text in the default option. For this reason, would be very grateful if you could tell us what results expect see under these circumstances.

*Note the smaller option is the default and you can change the computer size text in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display.

Hi Sandra,

Yes thanks I discovered this myself finally.

But your conclusion is not correct. I'm using a laptop where the default setting for Font Size is actually 125%, and it is possible to tick off "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling", which
is said to solve some font issues with certain applications which do not "like" the font scaling in Windows 7. I can select both 100% and 150%, and reducing to 100% solves the issue.

It seems the Steema software don't like font scaling at all, so my current solution is to run 100% font size, but this makes the displayed font very small on a 14'' laptop.

I assume many user use their Steema software on a laptop, so I guess this is an issue that is worth looking into.
