screen / font size to small to used

Post by airtac »

Running Ubuntu 20.04 and font and screen size is to small to read.

I think this is system problem not your program. What do I need to change to use you program.

Please read the FAQ Texts in the furniture catalog are not displayed correctly or icons in the toolbar appear very small on my computer. How can I fix that?

For Linux, it's explained in the last sentence of this FAQ.

I'm running Windows 10 64X on a PC
I sorted this successfully:
Searched C:\ drive for JAVA.EXE
Results beside SweetHome logo caame up with multiple versions of JAVA.EXE, JAVAW.EXE & JAVAWS.EXE
I opened each in turn and applied the following:


Find java.exe you installed. - (You've just done this)
Right click -> Properties
Go to Compatibility tab
Check Override high DPI scaling behaviour.
Choose 'System' in the 'Scaling performed by:'
Check 'Apply' to each in turn.

Do this for all of the above 'exe' files
Restart the computer
Open SweetHome and I hope you find the issue resolved.

I don't know if all of them needed modifying but doing so worked for me. :) :) :)
