I'm glad you like it. I've tested out your NFOHumper as well. Pretty good for something put together in a day. Liked the donate dialog as well.

"Enter the keyword 'persia' into one of"

It's obvious you mean into one of the boxes below but maybe you should add that to make the app look more tidy Smile

Thanks for your feedback. As garus has already pointed out, it's just the textbox being too big for the window. For now, reducing the size of your Windows font back to normal is the only solution. I'll try to think of a way to make Perseus support larger font sizes though. Any ideas are welcome.

Maybe you could use fixed pixel font size instead of pt so that will not take the systems setting Smile

This is probably due to different DPI. With .NET, it is rather easy to be DPI-aware (Google for examples). If you are writing in MFC, it could be more tricky.

Good one. I tried it, but my IDE wouldn't let me change it from points to pixels.

Yes indeed, it were the DPI settings. I decided to let Perseus read the current user's DPI settings from the Windows registry.



There you go Newty182 (Fix will be included in first update)

@Synzvato I think it would be much better to have the form grow according to DPI. The scroll bars look very out of place. Just calculate a ratio between normal DPI and your font, and scale accordingly.

I thought about correcting the font size. A font size 7 in combination with large system fonts (120 DPI) would result in the default Windows font size. However, people who use large fonts might not be able to read small text. I decided to choose acessibility over looks. Rescaling the form would mean rescaling the window and that makes everything look rather messy. Note that people who do not use large fonts will not see those scrollbars.

I can make a sample of an upscaled form though. Hang on.

Would this be a better solution? Kind of what garus pointed out in the first place. Laughing

Yes it looks much better in my opinion because both give the same experience now, with larger DPI as requested by the user.
But please notice that the buttons seem to not be DPI aware (and I suspect the text boxes) - the font looks similar to the one with normal DPI - and they are not aligned to the right.

Okay great! I'm going to apply it to all of the dialogs then. I will fix the button positions as well, but that's it for now. Expect full support for large fonts in the future though. Smile

Thanks man! Smile I'm the only one who works on the actual program. The project, which includes publishing, quality assurance, tips and feedback, has (so far) been aided by Jana and NFOHump (mrt in particular).
