ETS Viewer does not display text correctly on my screen.

Post by likejudo »

ETS Viewer Desktop version
I have Windows 11 with an LG monitor (2560x1440) and when I did the mock exam #1, I found a few display issues.

1) text sometimes runs together (see screenshot)

2) navigation buttons are covered up by taskbar. (see screenshot)

1. It is most likely because the font size on the machine is too small. Please run etsviewer from command line as follows:
c:\etsviewer directory\>java -DfontSizeIncrement=8 -jar etsviewer.jar

You can adjust the -DfontSizeIncrement argument to whichever works best for you.

2. Reduce the size of the question display dialog window by dragging it from top right corner. Once you close this window and open it again, it will remember the size and not cover the taskbar.

It is a little better. see below

Are you using Java Swing or Java Fx?
Java Fx may have more features for font kerning.
But I don't know whether it is free to use since it is no longer part of the JDK.
I tried with -10 and now it is fine.

for 2., thanks - the window resize worked.

It is built using Swing.
Which Java version were you using earlier?

Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean the version installed on my computer earlier? It was Java 11.

Oh, ok sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you switched Java version to 10. Just realized that you changed the fontSizeIncrement to -10.
