Remote Front Panels - Font Size

[andy_3141593]

Hi,

I'm using remote front panels for a VI compiled and running on a 9035.  The front panels worked fine on my laptop, however on another laptop the fonts didn't scale correctly with the controls and indicators, and it was all jumbled up.  What is happening?  Is it related to the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display configuration in Windows 7?  The customer left with the hardware before we could try the changing this configuration.  My laptop was configured to "Smaller" and theirs was configured to "Medium".  Is this the solution?  I'd like to be informed if/when the customers calls me about this issue.

Thank you for any insight you might have!

Yes, tell your customer to change that setting!

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the input.  Is there a similar setting for Windows 10?

Not sure if this has changed since LabVIEW 2013, but text did not scale with different display aspect ratios.  It required a lot of background programming using property nodes and reading the viewers actual screen display properties in order to scale text.  It is much easier to request the settings for which the panel created be set on the remote system.

Thanks! Do you have an example?
