Labview Fonts

[Davy]

Dear all,

I have a problem. When I install an application, that uses strings and/or labels, on different PC's, the strings or labels do not resize with the resolution of the PC. So i get strings that doesn't fit on the screen anymore and so on. How can i make strings and labels independent from my PC settings?

greetings

By default, LabVIEW uses system fonts, so if somebody changes their desktop fonts or change the graphics setting to e.g. "large fonts", you see the problem you encountered.

Set your default font to a truetype font with defined size (e.g. Tahoma or Arial works well) and all will be good.

LabVIEW can scale controls, but fonts are not scaled. To scale the fonts, you will need to change the sizes programmatically. Here is an example of how to do that with LabVIEW 6.1:
