The core issue is Microsoft Windows which is an absolute complete abomination and absolute utter trash. We have some sense, of potentially what might be causing this but not totally sure in your case. We do our best to manage the insanity of the Windows operating system. One recent change is that the Point size for drawings is now an unsigned 8-bit integer, rather than a signed 8-bit integer. So therefore you must have had a negative font size previously which now is being reinterpreted as a larger positive size, but from what we remember those negative values should have all been translated to positive point sizes, from negative logical heights. We will have to look into this. There may be some places where this has been overlooked. The way that Sierra Chart manages font sizes, is stable and we have overridden the insanity of the operating system about three years ago. Otherwise, this kind of crazy behavior is something that has always been ongoing since the introduction of Windows 8. There have been two or three changes over the years to manage the insanity of font sizes on the operating system. Let us look and see what we can do because really maybe there is some cases where we did not, normalize the negative logical heights to point sizes, in order to bring, consistent stability to fonts rather than complete deranged behavior. We will check control bars, and existing chart drawings. Give us a chance to look into this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
