Wrong dpi/scaling of some application windows

[Peter Zahn]

Hello,

I am working on an Windows XP-Embedded-FP2007 device. The mainboard (Kontron
KT965) comes with onboard-graphics (Intel Q965). So far, everything looks
fine, but when I open some own applications, which need exactly the full
screen width (1024px), they don't fit to the screen, because all graphical
elements of the application window is scaled by factor ~1,33. This effect
also happens when I start the "Intel Graphic Configuration Tool". The window
is displayed too large, so evereything except text is not sharp and some
elements are cut off.

The desktop resolution is set to 96dpi and there are no big fonts selected.

Can anybody guess, why this scaling is done only by non-windows-applications
and how i could switch it off?

Thanks in advance,

Peter Zahn

Thanks for your reply, i could solve the problem.

I manually added the font-files "serife.fon", "seriff.fon", "sserife.fon"
and "sseriff.fon" to the device.
Also i added the corrsponding registry-values
- "MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)"="SSERIFE.FON"
- "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)"="SERIFE.FON"
- "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (8514a res)"="SERIFF.FON"
- "MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (8514a res)"="SSERIFF.FON"
in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Font".

As I can see so far, all application windows look fine now.
