Re: Blurred fonts with uhd 4k monitor and scaling under windows 10

2018-02-05 Thread Dustin Henning 
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.

Source: 
https://appuals.com/disable-display-scaling-on-high-dpi-devices-in-windows-10/


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!

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!

Re: Blurred fonts with uhd 4k monitor and scaling under windows 10

2018-02-05 Thread John Ralls 
There are two pieces of this problem. The first is that GnuCash 2.6.x (and 
before, back to GnuCash 2.0.0) uses Gtk2 for its GUI toolkit and that stopped 
active development before HiDPI monitors became common. GnuCash 3.0 will use 
Gtk3 which has much better support for HiDPI.
That’s the good news.

The other piece is that even Gtk3 doesn’t scale exactly to the monitor 
resolution, particularly on Windows, so you may see some pixel smearing if the 
monitor’s DPI isn’t an integer multiple of 96.

Regards,
John Ralls

Blurred fonts with uhd 4k monitor and scaling under windows 10

2018-02-04 Thread Usar 
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!
