cjsrch Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I just think its odd that its perfect on an EEE machine…I guess ill try to send out a patch that disables hardware acceleration and see if it fixes it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Set the DPI to 100% - that usually fixes things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 syn is right, this is due to different DPI settings. not hardware acceleration or anything else, just let them change it and its good to go  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian666 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 think the default is about 96 actually.to detct dpi, you should do a google search, i think its somehting with the GetDeviceCaps apiedit, or check this reg entry:```HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI\LogPixelsHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowsMetrics\AppliedDPI``` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsrch Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 What it seems is a value of 100% gives a DPI of 96\. So is it the dpi that needs to be 100 or the percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 dpi 96, and percentage proberly 100  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
