How to fix blur and big text in enterprise guide editor

As the picture suggested, this is the default editor settings. it is big and blur.

I dont worry about the big, because the font size can be easily changed, but the blurring text is really annoying me.

it seems the resolution for the editor is not correctly set.

I tried methods on the web but none of them work.

I am running enterprise guide 6.1 on windows 10 64 bit.

Thanks for helping.

I don't see any blurring. If the posted example is actually a good representation of what you see perhaps your monitor settings have something set too high or low

Hi ballardw,

Thank you for answer, i now post a zoomed picture. You can see the fuzzy text. Below that, I post the "preview" under the editor option -> appearance tab. you can see the comparison. the difference is bigger in what I am actually seeing.

Certain Windows settings such as ClearType might have an impact, too. See, for example, this older thread.

Hi FreelanceReinhard,

I tried to turn on and off ClearType, no luck.

The font is not only blur but also large. seems it is not caused by windows settings but the editor's specific setting.

Several years ago I swtiched to using Consolas (a clear type font from Microsoft) and never looked back. It's a great font for programmers.
