Notepad3: Font of some titles goes wrong at Display-Scale more than 100%
The text '自定义语法高亮方(案)' is larger than expected, and its font is a serif one.
I'm using a 3000x2000 resolution screen, which may cause this problem.

Hello @RaiKoHoff ,
Same windows with:
- Screen-Resolution -> 1920 x 1080 [pix]
- Display-DPI -> 96 x 96 (Scale: 100%).
- Rendering-Technology -> 'DIRECT-WRITE'
- Zoom -> 100%.

@Dothion : Which Display Scaling are you using?
(Best: use About-Dialog Copy Version Text button and paste resulting clipboard content here)

- Locale -> zh-CN (CP:'ANSI (CP-936)')
- Current Encoding -> 'Unicode (UTF-8)'
- Screen-Resolution -> 3000 x 2000 [pix]
- Display-DPI -> 216 x 216 (Scale: 225%).
- Rendering-Technology -> 'DIRECT-WRITE'
- Zoom -> 100%.
And this popup has the same problem🤣

@hpwamr : Very strange, seeing same configurations ( FullHD(1920x1080) - Scaling:175% ) with different display:

My 125% doesn't match @hpwamr's either, bizarre.

I've just tested on my old Laptop 1600x900 (only 125% and 150% are available).
With my LP at 125%, I've exactly the same result as my above 125% picture ?
Question: Could be come from the fact that my systems are "single monitor" and yours have maybe 2 monitors attached? 🤔
hpwamr

No I have only 1 monitor.

RESOLVED !!! 😃
Resetting the original "Off" solved this problem (I once changed to "ON" because I read the explanation)! 🤔

Hello @RaiKoHoff ,
It's seems that the proportions of "scaling 125% dpi 120x120" are more approximate ?
At 150% and 175% the results are better ?
hpwamr
on 3 Aug 2020
FWIW mine changed again with the .803 build, its better than .802 just the "BETA" text cut off the end, and a similar display of the customize schemes window as @hpwamr's above. (BTW the image I am posting is reduced to 67% )

An updated screenshot if of any help.
- Screen-Resolution -> 1920 x 1080 [pix]
- Display-DPI -> 120 x 120 (Scale: 125%).
Very strange, this difference of displaying ?
Could this difference come from the "Themes" we use ? 🤔
- Screen-Resolution -> 1920 x 1080 [pix]
- Display-DPI -> 120 x 120 (Scale: 125%).
I never install custom themes, and run a very vanilla install of Win 10 19041 2004 using onboard Intel GPU. I also think it very strange and have no idea the cause.

Here too, I never install custom themes, and I run a vanilla install of Windows 8.0, upgraded to Windows 8.1, upgraded to All Series of Windows 10 until the latest upgrade Windows 10 19041.388 2004 and using a Display Adapter Radeon RX550 / 500 Series.

Hello @jupester , @Dothion ,
Are you sure that "Advanced scaling settings" is on: "Off" (See above posts: https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues/2567#issuecomment-667995024 ) ❔ 🤔
hpwamr
on 6 Aug 2020
Yes, but as far as I am aware that setting only has an effect if you change DPI after logon during a session anyway, ie if you haven't changed DPI during a session it has no impact anyway.
edit: I just performed some tests and got the same "correct" display as your screenshot by overriding the Notepad3.exe properties and setting it to "System" scaling override, but honestly the proportions look worse to me, it changes the shape of the dialog completely, as well as the rest of the NP3 interface, and doesn't look as clear or nice visually to me, so I'll continue using what I was getting by default.

Hello @jupester , @Dothion ,

Yes, it is 'off', after my computer restarted.
Not all the text are displayed, but I think developers are in a right way. Hope to see a fully corrected version after this beta test.

Not as sure as you ?

hpwamr

I have read that, but you had switched DPI since booting your computer though, hadn't you? so in that case switching it off would make a difference, but I don't change DPI hardly ever.
Anyway my understanding of that switch's functionality may be off base, but to answer your question I had already tried it set both ways before you first mentioned it, even though I didn't think it would do anything (in my case), admittedly I haven't been able to restart yet though, because I have had things running in the BG, I will in the next day or so though and let you know if it changes.
jupester

Hello @jupester ,
The mystery is solved,
- My scaling is normally 100% (96x96).
- Then, I set 125% (120x120) in Display settings.
- The text fits correctly in the About box. !
- Now I do a "Logoff-Logon" of my session (or a restarting),
AND I've the same BAD display as you !!!
CQFD 😃

After further testing, I withdraw from what I said above https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues/2567#issuecomment-667995024.
- With "Advanced setting" (blurry) set to "Off", the problem is hidden and waits for the next "Logout-Logon (or restart) to appear.
- With the "Advanced Setup" (blurry) set to "On", the problem appears directly without having to do a "Logout-Logon (or restart).
