Font size issues (Windows)
Created originally on Bitbucket by haarschaf (Haar Schaf)
Some font size issues as observed on Windows 7, 8, and 10:
-
Inconsistent font sizes across the program
-
List (tree) font size not adjustable
-
List fonts, list column header fonts, toolbar fonts, some labels, do not scale with high DPI settings, i.e. when zoom scale is > 100%, font remains very small and is hardly readable, both on high resolution screens and on screens that have scaling enabled for better readability. Applies both to DPI changes at runtime and on program startup. Interestingly text in the description column that is bold is scaled properly.
Most issues could be fixed by the users themselves by introducing two more font options: one for list fonts (trees and main commit list) and one for the other UI elements like labels. This is the quickest fix and users could assign fixed fonts and sizes themselves. On the other hand, implementing proper high DPI support would take a much longer time, but is really not neccessary at this point as this is a blocking usability issue.
