Hi dud,

client 1 is using the wrong font settings.

Or you forgot to nail those font settings in your VI/project to a fixed size…

The screen scaling is different. The one that looks good has a screen scaling of 100% (most likely it runs on a low dpi display with a low resolution compared to its size (eg. 1024 * 800 pixels on 15" or bigger) while the wrong one uses a Windows screen scaling of 140% or similar because it is on a HD (1920 *1096 pixels on 15" or smaller) screen.

Windows introduced DPI scaling to deal with relatively small high resolution displays with small sizes that result in very high DPI values. LabVIEW is not a high DPI aware application so Windows will "helpfully" provide background scaling for it. This then goes wrong since the graphic elements are scaled differently than the fonts when done in this way. Making LabVIEW full high DPI aware is a rather herculian undertaking as it touches just about anyting UI related in LabVIEW and also needs to be integrated with the other platforms LabVIEW supports. The fact that high DPI operation in Windows isn't exactly a clean implementation with many inconsistencies isn't helping either.

The sreen scaling isn't different. Both 100% at 1920x1080!

Where can I change the font settings for the client? Windows? Internet Explorer?
