Font size issue with executable
November 9, 2006 12:00 AM
I believe a number of laptops, including Dells, are shipping with the DPI set to large (120 dpi) instead of normal (96 dpi). When this happens the fonts do render much larger and can cause issues with missing text. One reason for this is as LCD panels reach higher and highers resolutions it can be difficult to read "normal" resolution text so the manufacturers use a larger resolution to have clean, readable text.As shown above you can find the DPI setting in the Display section of the advanced settings window.Setting that back to normal fixes the issue but it will require Windows to install some files and a reboot cycle. FYI, on the HTML front there is also a registry key installed on many of these large DPI systems that might cause some jagged/blurred images in IE as well. Hope that helps!
