Big fonts in windows 7 messes up report

rbuser

Hi,

Some of my users use Windows 7 with big fonts (125%).
When a report is previewed the fontsize in the report is increased as well.
This results in messed up reports as fields start overlapping.

Changing the fontsize in Windows 7 back to normal (100%) solves the problem.
In Windows XP and Vista this problem does not occur.

Bye the way: the same goes for some none scaled forms. Some fontsizes are
still increased.

Does anybody else have experienced this?

Regards,
Stef

Perhaps you can provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

I performed some tests here using the RB Demos. I ran the main reports demo,
the end-user report explorer demo and the crosstab demo. These demos store
report definitions in Forms, Database, and .RTM files respectively. I did
not encounter any issues.

For my testing I used Windows 7, Delphi 2010, and ReportBuilder 11.06. Using
a different version of Delphi should provide the same results.

I don't think there is a difference between Vista and Windows 7 handling of
large fonts. Internally Windows 7 is actually Windows 6.1 when you check the
OS versions. This was done for application compatibility.

Hello Nard,

Thank you. I've tried to come up with some samplecode, but I didn't get the
strange behaviour also.
Maybe it's some specific problem on the clients computer.

Thanks anyway.

Hello Nard,

Yesterday I had another user that had the same behaviour with the report.
After setting fonts in Windows 7 to 100% the problem was solved again.

It's strange because most users have no problems on Windows 7.
On Windows XP and Vista no users reported this behaviour.

My development environment: Windows XP, Delphi 2007 and RB 11.07 V2.
