Hi,
Running QCAD Pro 3.26.4.0 on Debian 10, with monitor resolution 3840x2160.
Struggling to read small print e.g. the console text - it is tiny.
Tried Application Preferences / General / User Interface and increased the scaling factor to 2 - it's better but not good enough.
Is there any other way to make dialog windows, console etc a bit more readable?
Thanks

Re: User interface font size on hi-res display
Under Linux, please try to set environment variables as documented at:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html#hig ... port-in-qt
You can best do this in the "qcad" start script. I'd suggest to try these settings:

You can best do this in the "qcad" start script. I'd suggest to try these settings:
Code: Select all
# default:
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"
# no auto scale:
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"
# manual factor of 2 (large):
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"
# manual factor of 4 (huge):
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=4 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"

yep, that did the trick; didn't occur to me to search for Qt settings but it makes sense now that you mentioned it;
thanks for the link and info Andrew

Hello Andrew, hello Bernardo
I have the same problem. But I really don't know where to find the "qcad" start script.
Would be lovely if you could give me a hint.
I'm on Linux and QCAD Version 3.26.4.0 (3.26.4)

Re: [SOLVED] User interface font size on hi-res display
leetschi: It's in your QCAD installation directory. Most likely (if you used the installer) under:
~/opt/qcad-3.26.4-pro-linux-x86_64/qcad
Or similar.
~/opt/qcad-3.26.4-pro-linux-x86_64/qcad
Or similar.
