Thank you! We tried it out and so far I can't see a difference in performance.
I took screen shots of a module in a drawing, as opened with v0.7 and with the new pixel_size_font build.

Hello,
Any chance we can get a Windows installer?
Thanks!

We've not been successful trying to build the software with a Windows PC. Can you compile the installer for a Windows x64 machine?

Thanks much, finally will be able to check it this week! Will let you know what we find.

Thanks, but I think all the larger folio does is prevent the mis-scaled text from spilling off the page. The scaling of texts is still bad.

Here is the example drawing.
By the way, although we don't have a solution yet, thanks very much to each of you for engaging in this discussion!

Here is one of the man drawings that only looks good if I open QET (0.7) with my laptop's built-in 4K display, with windows text scaling factor set to 150%, without the external 4K monitor connected. If I open QET with the external 4K monitor the scaling is a little wonky regardless of the text scaling settings for Win10.
If I open with a different (FHD display with or without external 4K monitor) PC it is basically unreadable with any scaling settings in Win10. Opening with QET 0.9 seems to scale texts the same regardless of the PC, but still is not true to the original design scaling.
The attachment shows how it should look, and the next post will have the drawing source file.
By the way, this seems to happens for any drawing, with static or dynamic text, with any number of sheets. It is not a drawing issue, as the scaling issue happens on any drawing and is dependent on which display was used at the time QET is opened. I have to unplug my external display, open QET with the laptop, then plug the external display back in. Then I can use any of our drawings without issue. It is some issue with initial conditions on opening QET, and not necessarily when a drawing is opened.

@Morganol
I am not sure what you mean. The font is defined at the time of creation is it not? Created with MS Shell Dlg 2 on drawings from either screen size. Both are pretty standard Win10 machines. Are you suggesting QET will somehow use different fonts depending on which PC is used?

It looks like the issue was possibly resolved at some point. Drawings from the 4K laptop now with 0.90 are now scaling OK on the HD screens... Unfortunately, we discovered most of our drawings were made with a version of 0.7 that was downloaded in mid 2019. All of our element libraries were also created with the older version.
Since there is no way to "export" the scaling to look appropriately with v0.90, I think we may have a long, difficult road ahead of us.

It doesn't look like anything has changed regarding text scaling in the new version.
I've attached an image that shows the issue in detail. You can see that the lines that were drawn are scaled correctly to the template, but the texts are very badly scaled. We have some very complex drawings that are essentially useless for everyone except the author with the 4K laptop, because the scaled text makes the sheet look like alphabet soup.

Same issue with all versions. 09-dev, V0.70-RC2+5645188c5d79751d3, and prior versions.

We are also experiencing problems with this. If I open QET on my Dell Inspiron with 4K display, save a drawing, then open it on another PC, the text is a huge mess and totally unusable. Any lines in the drawing seem to scale correctly, just not the text. If I want to use QET to edit one of the hundreds of drawings we have, I have to unplug my second monitor, open QET, then reattach the monitor. If I try to open with the monitor (which is also 4K by the way) connected, the text scaling is off. Trying to use drawings on one of our HD laptops is impossible, so instead of my team working on drawings, we have accumulated a large CAD backlog.
We've spent many hours trying to figure out how to get the text to scale properly on our HD machines, with or without 4K external monitors, with no success. The various scaling settings with QT such as QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS, QT_SCALE_FACTOR, and Windows High DPI options seem to only affect scaling of the app, but not the text in the drawing.
We are not software developers... any support would be greatly appreciated!
