Font size or screen resolution? Some font cut off.

Not sure what's changed but SmartSDR used to show everything so nicely. Lately I've noticed some of my font has been cut off. I can no longer tell which antenna I'm on. You can also see the frequency display just about the waterfall.

My screen resolution is set to the highest resolution possible (1920 X 1080) and my font size on Windows 10 is set to 100%.

Like I said, not sure why it's changed. A few. months back I went to 3 screens rather than 2 (for viewing area) but am pretty sure all was good when I went to 3 screens. Any ideas why this has happened and what I can try to fix it?

    You may have lost the fonts used in SmartSDR. They are available for download here:
      https://www.flexradio.com/downloads/
    Select the last folder in the list: "SmartSDR SDR for Windows" (The repeated "SDR" is not my error -- that's how it appears in the list!).
    There are two fonts listed: Didact Gothic Font, and NapoliSerial Xlight Font. Download and install them. That might fix your problem.

    This does indeed fix the problem as a follow up for anyone that runs into this problem, install both sets of fonts and restart SmartSDR

    Hi Walt, have you re-booted your computer since doing the font install?

    Will it happen on all of your screens?

    Hi Walt, Have you by any chance, changed the Ease of Access settings for font size?

    I mean if you move the SmartSDR window to another monitor does the problem also appear? Windows 10 has a font setting that can be different per monitor.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
