Problem with font size MT4 in Windows8.1
Does somebody can tell me how to change the font size in MT4?
I installed the MT4 in Windows 8.1, but the font size of the chart’s axes, the history, the buttons etc are quite small, I can hardly read it.
Do you know how can I change it?

Try changing the Windows 8 default font size or the resolution of your screen.

Try using Microsoft Magnifier which is a tool that enlarges part or all of your screen so you can see the words and images better.

Did you find anything to help with this? I have the same problem, and don't like using the magnifier, I just like seeing the numbers bigger. I'm referring to the price on the right side and time on the bottom.

after hectic search, no solutions except reprogram any expert or indicator to take into account DPI of any screen.

Example of scaling factor calculation:


Inserted Code
//--- Creating a 1.5 inch wide button on a screen
int screen_dpi = TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_SCREEN_DPI); // Find DPI of the user monitor
int base_width = 144;                                      // The basic width in the screen points for standard monitors with DPI=96
int width      = (button_width * screen_dpi) / 96;         // Calculate the button width for the user monitor (for the specific DPI)
...
 
//--- Calculating the scaling factor as a percentage
int scale_factor=(TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_SCREEN_DPI) * 100) / 96;
//--- Use of the scaling factor
width=(base_width * scale_factor) / 100;

In the above example, the graphical resource looks the same on monitors with different resolution characteristics. The size of control elements (buttons, dialog windows, etc.) corresponds to personalization settings.
