Font scaling #8

Closed chds718 closed 5 years ago

chds718 commented 5 years ago

There is an issue with the font scaling. The UI fonts get very tiny on modern hi-res monitors with dense DPI. Windows has "scaling" feature to address this, but it doesn't affect the Java app. Maybe there is a 3rd party solution for this, as I imagine other Java apps with UI have the same issue.

NOTE: I found an obvious workaround, which is adjusting my monitors resolution down from 3840x2160 to 2048x1152. At that level I can read the menus and tables OK. But still its something to consider fixing. There must be a Java solution for this---you shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.

This should be fixed for Java 1.9 and newer
