So I finally got my computer upgraded to Windows 7 at work. \u00a0I was very happy to have it since XP was really starting to annoy me and I couldn’t really do some of the development tasks I needed to get done.<\/p>\n

After a week or so I started looking through the applications I work on and found some issues with some of the fonts; they were too big in Windows 7. \u00a0Now, if you went through a Windows upgrade before this may come a no surprise; I remember some issues going from Win95 to Win 2000 to Win XP back in the day. \u00a0Here is an example of what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

\"win7_fonttoobig\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now these buttons had MS Sans Serif font sized at 9 point.<\/p>\n

So I tasked myself with going through each window\/visual object in the application libraries to check for this. \u00a0The last thing I want to have \u00a0happen is my apps to go to customers looking like crap.<\/p>\n

Lo and behold you don’t need to do this. \u00a0The answer is a setting in Windows.<\/p>\n

Right Click on the desktop:<\/p>\n

\"Rt<\/a><\/p>\n

Choose ‘Personalize’<\/p>\n

\"win7_screensettingdisplay\"<\/a>Choose ‘Display’<\/p>\n

\"win7_screensettingdefault\"<\/a>Make sure you are using the default setting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now things are fine:<\/p>\n

\"win7_normalfont\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now this seemed to only be an issue with MS Sans Serif \u00a0so I’m not sure if there are other fonts to be concerned with or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
