Title: Windows 7 problem !
Post by: paja on December 25, 2009, 06:53:32 AM
Hi,

I installed Windows 7 Pro+ (64bit). When I start program compiled in Win XP then are all fonts in Win 7 Pro shown more bigger than in XP.
Any solution ?

Thanks

That's not neccessarily true.
Remember that today is Christmas day, a time when people are usually involved in family activities.

Is the Windows DPI setting the same on both systems?

Hi,

I send you pictures to compare it from XP PRO and WIN 7 Pro +

Here is part of code for printing it:

DRAWMODE w1, @TRANSPARENT

SETFONT w1,"georgia",262,1000,70

FRONTPEN w1,RGB(240,240,240)
MOVE w1,205,255
PRINT w1,"MTS"

FRONTPEN w1,RGB(0,0,0)
MOVE w1,202,253
PRINT w1,"MTS"

Very simple but big difference !

Hi,

I found solution:

But I do not understand why Microsoft uses 125% like standard after instalation WIN 7.  >:(

They very love customers (maybe) !?

They don't. I am using Win7 since the early beta (almost alpha) days and never had any problems with it. You obviously messed something up while installing your version.
