Problem Description:
Director displays text in small font size which is hard to read.
Cause:
Known issue, which has occurred on display/monitor set to use high resolution.
Solution:
- Run Windows File Explorer
- Go to the folder where the Director application is installed (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\eB\Director)
- Right click eB.Application.Director.exe
- Select Properties
- Clcik the Compatibility tab
- Click the Change high DPI settings button
- Check the Program DPI (Use this setting...) checkbox
- (Optional) Select I open this program in the dropdown list
- Check the Override high DPI scaling behavior checkbox
- Select Application from the dropdown list
- Click OK to save the changes
Run Director again. Depending your original screen resolution settings, you should see bigger text font size in the application now.
Workaround:
(Not recommended) Use Windows's Advanced scaling settings to set a higher scaling percentage, e.g. 150%. This is not recommended as the scaling will apply to the whole Windows interface.
