RFE: Windows High DPI Resolution response

[rgleason]

Mike, otcurrent is excellent as ever. There is just on or two things that need to be improved.
Bdbcat has some code to make the text DPI responsive for Windows. You could use that for the Tide direction and speed as shown at each arrow.

Can you point me to the code needed? Thanks. Assume you have tried the option in preferences.

[rgleason]

I did not see an option to change text size in prefs. Just back from cruise will check again and try to find some example code

[rgleason]

Found the High Resolution button, it seems to separate the text vertically but does not increase Font size.
I also tried changing the various User Scale Factors and they do not control the text size either.

Mike hopefully the links in this post will help. These were used to get Dashboard working for High Resolution High DPI Displays that are more often used these days.

Found Dave's correction for MSW in ocpn_draw. Alpha packages here:
https://cloudsmith.io/~opencpn/repos/otcurrent-alpha/packages/
@rgleason : Please can you test.

[rgleason]

MIke, I will test, but can you point me to those corrections? I would like to bookmark them!

MIke, this is considerably better. Is there a way to increase the line spacing? Also what Opencpn Options > User > Font name controls this?

[rgleason]

[Rasbats]

Line spacing can be increased with:
Preference/High Resolution Display

[Rasbats]

Font size is hard-coded. OpenCPN options cannot change this.

[rgleason]

What I am showing has High Res checked. Line spacing is inadequate. Also text is a little too bold IMHO

[Rasbats]

Package build with fontweight normal and line spacing increased from 26->35.

[rgleason]

Thanks MIke, much better now with High Res checked.
