font size problem

Hello,

Is anyone know how to change the font size in "Modify Axis" menu? I am using igor pro 6.37, and at some point the font size of "Modify Axis" menu became too big, and I could not see all the options. I may have changed some settings before, but I don't remember what I have done.

I have tried to turn on and turn off the "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and choose System or System(Enhanced) option, but it doesn't work.

 the font size in "modify axis" menu is too big, so I cannot see all the options

Are you using a high-resolution monitor? Igor 6 doesn't work well that way. It will work best at 100% scaling; if you have set it to 120% (which is pretty common for people who want things to appear somewhat bigger) it will probably have troubles with font sizes in various places.

Please be aware that Igor 6 was released long before high resolution monitors were available, and before Windows was able to support them. The best solution would be to upgrade- we are now shipping Igor 9.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I have connected my laptop to a high-resolution monitor once, but most of the time I don't connect it to external monitor. I am using 100% scaling and Igor pro 7 works quite well in my laptop without this problem. The reason why I am using igor pro 6 is that I need to use some procedures writen by others and they are not compatible with igor 7 or higher version.

Does the code you're using rely on the Interpolate operation? I can imagine the deprecation of that is a breaking change, but you can easily update old code to use the Interpolate2 operation. This was the most obvious showstopper I encountered making the switch.

Do you get compile errors or does it not work? In both cases people here might be able to help.

Yes, there are errors when I try to compile them, like text coding problem, definition of waves and many other problems...
