The issue is actually that Microsoft changed how scaling works in newer
versions of Windows so that programs that weren't compatible with the
scaling functionality in Windows would be treated as images and zoomed
rather than being scaled. It is possible that GnuCash functions
properly with Windows scaling even though it doesn't "support" it. In
that case, the following may work:
The only way that Microsoft has provided users with to turn this
feature off is to disable it by right-clicking on the shortcut of
any one of the programs in question, selecting Compatibility and
turning display scaling on high DPI devices off, one program at a time.

Alternatively, that page also provides instructions for registry editing
(I don't believe I messed with that because...) and an application
called "DPIAwarenessEnabler" which it links to. That application can be
downloaded from here:
http://techie007.3utilities.com/software/dpiawarenessenabler/
I have used v1.0.3 of that application and found it convenient, but I
work in IT, and if GnuCash is currently your only problem, messing with
the properties of GnuCash.exe or a shortcut to it may be a better option
for you. It is possible that it will be much more complicated due to
the Windows GnuCash deployment consisting of many executables, but these
steps may be worth a shot. Good luck!

I had a similar problem with windows10. At higher resolutions, text seemed
“fuzzy” and some characters appeared to be missing pixels. I chalked it up to
lesser resolutions from my integrated video chipset.
But... interestingly, my O/S went south on me. I decided I had had enough of
Widows and converted to Linux. Poof! Problem gone. I’m wondering if it’s just a
problem with Windows. I would check to see if your video card can handle high
enough resolutions, or if your O/S is limited to lower resolutions. I know....
not much in the way of help, but I figured I’d share my experience in the hope
you can benefit somehow.

Hello GnuCash Community,
I recently bought a new monitor which allows for 3840x2160 pixels. I love
the sharpness, alas some programs dont scale very well. It seems to me that
gnucash is one of these programs who look rather f***** up with this many
pixels.
Is there any way I can have sharp fonts with my setup?
Thanks for your help!
