crippled font / bad looking text

Post by Purzelkater »

Today I have seen my MapTool campaign on the PC (Windows 10, tried MapTool 1.5.8 and 1.5.9) of one of my players and... well... I was a little bit shocked.

I have made a screenshot, because it should be easier to show the issue:

As you can see, the text looks like washed or crippled, really bad to read. Also there is a wrong alignment of all the values.

Normaly I should be shown like this (screenshot of my GM session):

This problem is on the campaign macro window too (button text).

Well, I don't know what could be wrong here. So any suggestions are welcome. :)

Thank you! I have had to make some tries to get the best setting, but it was the right direction. :)

As a side note:
On the Surface Pro 4 tablet the "System (extended)" setting looks perfect.
On my players PC (full hd resolution, but a scale of 125%) it was a little bit harder. With "System (extended)" the images and the char-sheets are sharp and clear but all "normal" fonts (menu, dialogs/frames) are blured. The best compromise was a combination of "System" and special Application-DPI setting (don't know the English translation of this dialog on Windows). - Now the font has the right size and is "almost" sharp and clear to read and images are okay.
