Non standard DPI #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set OS' DPI to 125%
2. Launch any CnPack form
3. Ouch... http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2075/screenshot6009125.png

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Font scaling expected, as that's what I ordered OS to do. But I see instead 
that some application thinks it knows better what I need.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN trunk + WinXP SP2

Please provide any additional information below.
Guys, please do NOT decide what a user needs. Let him do it himself. As you can 
see, such microscopic font is a pure sadism.
For myself I commented out the line Font.Height := MulDiv(Font.Height, 
FScaler.DesignPPI, PixelsPerInch); in TCnTranslateForm.DoCreate but it would be 
much better if you fix this.

At least early Delphi versions had troubles with controls aligning and sizes if 
Scaling was enabled.

Skype, MailTu agent and many others disable scaling. And while personally i 
hate it, they have their reason.

Well, they could at least give an option to have a choice. I personally know 
precisely what I'll choose between inaccurate layout and absolutely unreadable 
captions.
