Title: Utilities View Block Size
Post by: cache22 on October 28, 2014, 08:25:00 AM

The size of the view block when using the utilities function to measure the length or to determine how tall an object is from its shadow is too small and cuts off some of the writing. Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?? Anyone else having this problem? Using version 86.  ???

I couldn't find anywhere in Humviewer an option to change font size ...

Is it possible that your monitor resolution is set to a size that is enlarging the font ...??

Your utility box looks entirely different, Rickie.  What Humviewer version are you using? I am also on windows 7.

I went into my monitor settings and changed the DPI from my default 90 to the other setting of 120 DPI ...

I get the same larger font as your OP ...

I think your issue is in the monitor settings and not a Humviewer issue ...

In Vista ... (I'm not sure in Windows 7)...

Right click on the desktop ...
Select "Personalize" ...
Select "Adjust font size (DPI)" ... (In the left column) ...
Change to a smaller DPI scale ...

But this will make all your font smaller ... Not just Humviewer ...
