Title: general text size .. not the drawing text but on the general operational window
Post by: Hickson on December 18, 2014, 06:52:17 PM
for what ever reason, the text is way to small to see and I must continually get very close to the screen to see what is happening ... how do you increase the font size to be able to see it ..

Hi there,

Can you show an image of the type of text? Dimensions? Rooms? the program?

Hi there,

this is not controlled by the program, it depends of the resolution of your display.
I always recommend 96 dpi

I thank you for for the info ..

During the last 45 years in IT .. it has been drilled into me that displaying info is a personal requirement .. similar to clothes ... one size does not fit all . Good software allows for this issue (see the ability to modify this in most current browsers and software).

Yes my eyes are not as good as they once were .. however as there is no standard within application development, this facility is almost mandatory ..

It is unfortunate that the developers are looking thru their eyes and not the end users.

It is a strong recommendation to make this change and get up to speed with current technology trends.

Hickson,

As you probably know, this Forum is user to user (I am a just an advanced TFP user) so if you have any complaint regarding the UI, I'd suggest that you try to contact Imsi

Sorry Patricia, I did not mean to insult you .. I personally thank you for your help. I was hoping someone from IMSI my be looking in ..

I just get frustrated with current software development .. focused too much on the geek and not enough on the end user.

My personal experience with IMSI support is it is a tunnel, in one orfice and out the other ..

However beggars do not have much influence ....

Thanks again ..
