All font not working with hi res monitor.

Post by Jack »

Hello,
Zeus has been working fine on my laptop using its built-in screen ( 1920x1080 resolution) for a long time. I just added a 2nd monitor ( 3840x2160 resolution). With this 2nd monitor, there are some major problems with all Zeus fonts.

1) At the beginning of a line, the cursor is correctly positioned immediately before the character. As you scroll further into the line, the cursor now is positioned in the middle of the character.

2) For the 5 or 6 Zeus fonts I tried, when setting the size to 12 points, the editor displays an extra space between a alpha character and a special character ( I define as ()[];.->< ). That space isn't in the file. When you scroll past it, the editor correctly skips the phantom space. Font size 14 points does the opposite. It will display ( {open parenthesis} or a - {Dash} on top of the previous character. If you have 2 special characters in a row ( like close parenthesis followed by a semicolon), it displays correctly

This only occurs with Zeus. I have checked notepad and Visual studio. This makes the editing of text very confusing. I am using Zeus version 3.97Y. If you think updating has a chance of fixing this, I'd be happy to try that 1st before you take any effort to look at this.

Thanks!
Jack

This is probably an issue with the version of Zeus you are running, only because that version would have been developed prior to the availability of 4K monitors.

As a test could you try the latest Zeus version found here: https://www.zeusedit.com/download.html

NOTE: I'd recommend downloading the 64 bit version of Zeus from that page.

I suspect that version will work for fine with these hi-res screens.

Cheers Jussi
