    Hello all,

    I've bought a couple of Quad HD monitors and therefore I've scaled them at 150% to endure I can read texts.

    I'm using TwinCAT 3 and I can see the editors (codesys embedded inside Visual Studio) show bad scaled fonts.

    Is there something I can do to improve the fonts?

    PS: please avoid recommending putting back the monitor at 100% and using glasses...

    Thank you all!

    I don't think there is anything you can do. It is a know issue on the dot net platform. The developers of TwinCat need to make some changes for supporting 125% and 150% scaling. Until those behind the scenes changes are made, you will have text not fitting in boxes, etc. on our platform, the developers optimized 125% and are about to release 150% optimization.

    I miss the old days where screen resolution could actually be adjusted for this exact reason... I don't know anyone who can read a 1920 x whatever screen when it is only 15 inches like on my notebook.
