Huge text

[Larry Wing]

I had a problem with Accordance starting with no text which I have fixed. But now the font is huge. I have the preferences set to 9 but this is definitely not 9. More like 20.

 

This first appeared after installing Windows 10 Anniversary Upgrade but I don't know if it's related although it didn't do this last week.

 

 

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Accordance 11.2.3.

Hi Larry,

FWIW. I have the Anniversary Update in Win 10 Pro in a virtual machine and Win 10 Home in a Windows i386 tablet, and Acc works perfectly in both. The only thing I've noticed is more power consumption in the tablet.

Regards,

Michel

I have the same VM setup and Accordance is running fine. Fonts look as they should. How are you setting the font size? Are you using the Accordance Preferences to set them globally, or are you setting them by going to the Display menu?

I think I found the answer. This is a dell xps13 with high res screen. I hadn't checked the preference box to disable scaling relative to high resolution screen. That certainly fixed the text font size but now the preferences dialog box is almost too small to read. Any ideas to fix that?

 

As a work around I unchecked box and and the manually reduce size for text display.

 

I have the update on my desktop and my wife's notebook too and like you haven't had issues. Whatever I have had seem to be unique to this computer.

Any ideas to fix that?

 

try Control Panel > Display > Change display settings > Change size of items > set a custom scaling level, and then Apply

 

Edit: in rare cases this affects pop-up menus and you can't click at the bottom of one; in that case you would have to revert to the original scaling, and re-scale to a higher level again. But it's better than tiny fonts on high resolution monitors.
