Font Size Difference between Exe and Labview IDE

[Doctor John]

I'm stumped on the following issue and surprizinglycan't find any references that are similar on this forum.

I've developed an application which, when built to an Exe, has different font sizes than when executed on the same computer in the Labview Integrated Development Environment.  In each instance the screen resolution is the same.  I've used the "Application Font".  I'm having trouble figuring why the font would render differently in each case.  Of possible signifigance is that I'm running the Exe by simply browsing to the folder where the build procedure drops it instead of building an installation.

I've attached one of the most glaring examples that shows the rendering in each case.

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to resolve this issue.

Hi Doctor,

two notes:
for the font size differences: I would try to change the font settings to a more 'specific' font like Arial 14pt. The application font is set somewhere in an ini-file and the setting may change with the environment (IDE vs. exe-rt).

for your attachment: please convert pictures to jpg or png. This will reduce size by orders of magnitude 🙂 And please crop them, unless you have a very (VERY) beautiful desktop background picture!
