    Default Fonts in menus in Designer Pro X

    Forgive me if this has been posted/answered.

    For some reason many fonts do not fit inside dialog boxes in Designer Pro X.

    Enclosed are some screen shots of what I'v speaking of. I am using the latest/updated version of Designer Pro X and Windows 7.

    This only happens in Designer Pro X, no other Windows program has this problem

    Try Windows > Control Bars... > Reset.
    Xara will revert to the black style for the Control Bars and you will lose all customisations.

    Are you using a Windows font size larger than 100%?

    No, it's set on 100%.

    Was hoping this was a known problem with a fix--I've been to every setting I can think of in Control Panel with no joy!

    Had no effect that I can see anywhere in the interface.

    It is a result of the Xara software applications that are NOT high DPI aware.

    "It is a result of the Xara software applications that are NOT high DPI aware."

    So does that mean there's no fix? Was hoping this was a known problem with a fix--I've been to every setting I can think of in Control Panel with no joy!

    I really love this software but the fonts being so small (in the dialog boxes) is an annoyance. Of course the text hints help but I'd like to get this fixed.
    As I may have said before, this is the only software that I have this problem in.

    Thanks so much for your help!
