Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
I found an article on Windows 8.1 that describes the problem almost exactly. Apparently Windows applies scaling to certain programs automatically. This is exactly what's happening. The text from one line is enlarged to overlap the next, rendering all lines unreadable.

Their instructions were to go to the properties of the executable and select the compatibility tab. Then toggle the option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". I tried it but it didn't fix the issue. In every available resolution setting for my screen, all the way down to 1024 x 768, the display of Sweet Home 3D is exactly the same. The application is simply unusable.
