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

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

I had a similar problem with windows10. At higher resolutions, text seemed “fuzzy” and some characters appeared to be missing pixels.
