Anyone knows why the simulator messes up text when simulating an TP900?

Windows settings ?

Thanks,
Kind regards,
C

I know the simulator uses Windows language settings for things like date/time format, and comfort panels have their own separate region settings, so display can be different for those things.


No idea why text sometimes appears different, curious to hear other experiences

I had this befor with a PC runtime too. In simulation it was messed up while using the Runtime showed it the way it should. On panels it is also not the first time I have this problem. It only happens in simulation, downloading to the panel does not show issues.

Resolution Laptop is 1920 x 1080
Resolution screen is 800 x 480

This can be caused by windows desktop scaling (in Control panel > Display).

If it's set to something other than 100% the simulator seems to get text sizes wrong.

Scaled

Hi,

I tried 100% instead of 150% scaling, restarted the runtime (not the laptop). But same issue.

Kind regards,
G
