Title: Font size problem
Post by: c+c on May 28, 2009, 04:56:41 AM

Hello

I'm trying to get mach3 running on an ASUS eee-touch computer.
I'm using just the standard Mill screen setup. The Screen resolution is 1366 x 768.

The problem is that the font size for some labels is to big so that is does not fit in the available space.
The text is cut off at the right and bottom sides.

You can see it in the picture below.
What can I do to solve this?

I think you'll need to change the labels in Screen4.

Hi need help,

I have the same issue, all the number are low down. I load Screen4 and create new DRO and a G-code window, it do the same.
I did not find how to fix that, could someone tell me how it could be fix?

Thank you,

Try Right click on your desktop/Properties/Advance
Change your Font size to "Normal"

For me it helped to set the font size in Windows XP to 'medium' or 'normal' (I'm not sure what the correct name is).
It was set to 'large' and that was causing the problems.

Hi,

Thank you for your fast answer. It was that my front setting in advance was at 120ppp and to fix the front for Mach3 I set it to 96ppp, now the Mach3 screen is OK, but will need magnifying glass used by jewelers to see all my other programme.  ;D

I will use a second computer to run Mach3 in the future, for now I am looking at it to see if it will work for my need.

Do someone know if Mach3 could display a Go To DRO ( the position from where it is to the position it will go and what is the distance to travel to get there)?
Could it read variable in the G-code?

Thank you,
