Words in icon editor get blurry

[Matthew_Kelton]

While I don't uinderstand why ClearType is enabled for icons (although, since the icon editor is a VI, there may be no way to disable it), the really annoying thing is that it assumes a white background.  Fonts will look OK on a white background with the anti-aliasing effects, but change the background color and the fonts are unreadable.

It's a shame.  I really have never been fond of Small Font, but don't have much choice anymore.

What's the solution for the issue on LV2012? I'm annoyed...

I always used a tool contributed by Thsa and it works better than the one in LV2012.

It's pity that Thsa's IE has no meaningful glyphs and documentation.

Hi labc, 

Are you using the "Small Fonts" font, as recommended by Altenbach?  

I was able to open and run the IE tool from Thsa in LV2012, although I had a few files missing.

hello

did anyone solve the problem? Recently my icon editor text got blurry and even after reinstalling Windwos & Labview the problem remains on fresh Windows copy!!!

I have Windwos 10 pro updated & Labview 2015 f2 (the newest stuff), Intel HD graphic card.. The problem occured suddenly in the beggining of the new year. maybe because of some windows update or graphic card update. I don't know exactly.

Problem happens on Labview 2015 and Labview 2014SP1. It doesn't matter if i use cleartype or not in windows. It is no matter which font i use in Icon Editor. All of them are blurry! (see attched picture).

Additional issue is that when i enter the text and it is too long for the icon the text is not hidden under the icon frame but immediately cut.

Instead of reviving an old thread, let's just continue your discussion here.

For me turn off cleartype was a solution for size greater than 9 (LV 2019 and Win 10)!
Unfortunately other programs font looks worst... 😕
