Hello

I have just "migrated" to use a Mac with Parallels Desktop running a Windows 10 Enterprise virtual machine. How ever when looking at a model view the font are really big and "ugly" in the entities.

I'm not sure where the problem should be adressed.

I have never seen this "feature" before using only windows machines.

You can se in attaced file what i'm meaning.

Everything else that i'm working on the machine is behaving normal, just this thing in the llbl designer. I'm running the version 5.1 (5.1.2) RTM.

Thanks for any suggestions and advice. //greg

Your windows is set to high dpi? I have no idea how to reproduce this though... the elements in the model view are drawn with a library from IBM which they've discontinued for some time now and it's perhaps a HiDPi problem, however you're the first to report this....

Could you test some things with high dpi settings in windows, font sizes (120%/150% etc. ) and see whether that makes a difference or not?

Additionally: no other element in the designer UI has font sizing problems?

Sorry for late response.

I have found out that the "Parallels Desktop" virtual machine has a configuration for the "Retina Resolution" is set to "Best for Retina Display".

However change "Retina Resolution" to "Scaled" and changing the screen resolution inside the vm combined with "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" do the trick with some flaws in the resolution, but it's ok fro me right now.

//Thanks Greg
