Title: Ugly font on Windows 8.1 X64
Post by: blackps on January 19, 2014, 03:00:51 PM
It's need support for Clear Type on Windows 8.1 as the font is very ugly.


Thanks.

Hmm, I don't update to Windows 8.1 yet, as the driver support is not too nice for graphic card.
But as I know, Windows 8.1 don't change anything about Clear Type.

What happen if you using the compatibility as Windows 7/8?
And did you make sure the graphic card driver is installed? :)

I did try compatibility Windows 7/8 i don't think it's any change,maybe the problem is that now im on a Windows 8.1 Full Hd,the one with the better font is Windows 7 HD screen.Maybe it needs some work on Full HD screens.

I guess I know what is the issues, did you change the DPI?
Try tick the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and see how's going. :)

Are you running in native res with 100% DPI , what BenYeeHua is saying is try each setting in display driver , you can set it to scale with GPU driver or scale with monitor . which is better depends on monitor and GPU drivers .

Also does Win8 have clear type , if so make sure thats on .

Yes, you can try disable the new DPI feature via the ways that I said, or disabled completely by un-tick the "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays".
You can find where it is via Google, or here. :)

And yup, it is hardly to find a fix for it, as many software having issues with Windows DPI since Windows XP....

Process Lasso uses the default font in all locations *except* the captions on the core utilization and RAM Graphs. Are those what you are talking about?
