Mark Ingram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I am testing affinity, and I have the same issue on Windows 10 build 15063.413, Affinity Designer 1.5.3.69 (trial). http://imgur.com/a/azNFt Can you tell me a bit about your system? How many monitors do you have? What display scale do you have them set to? What's the display scale of the monitor that Designer was running on? Do you have ClearType enabled?

Sherbakov Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have the same problem with Affinity Photo 1.5.2 (NOT beta). I asked about the problem here. I own ASUS N73SV laptop and external LG 22MP65 display hooked up to HDMI port. My system is windows 10. ClearType was enabled by default. Both displays have native 1920x1080p resolution without scaling, they syncronized in windows settings (see attachment). Fonts look horrible on both displays no matter plugged or unplugged external one. I don't use displays simultaneously. Lid is always closed and i use external LG (because of IPS).

Roxas Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have just installed AF to try if it's a good replacement for Adobe's software which is becoming even worse. So but I faced the same issue the others here have and it seems like that there's no fix available for this right? The font inside AF (UI) ist really horrible, it's not smooth, I always see a thin magenta line on every character and that makes it nearly unuseable because it really burns my eyes. I'm running the latest Version of Windows 10. I'm using a good EIZO Display (2560x1440) and a GTX 680. I'm not experiencing any of this type issues in any other software. It's only AF. Hopefully you can see that on the screenshot as well. http://d.pr/i/SX30gO/2UxI32ce It would really be nice if there's any possibility to fix that because I'm seriously looking for an alternative to Adobe. Thank you so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so far! The magenta and yellow outlines you can see are Windows' ClearType. What is your Windows display scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick response! I'm using the 100% display scale by default. http://d.pr/i/oYQui6/3tx2KzTI (Can only provide the German screen - hope that's okay.)

Okay, that's weird. I've just started AF again to make a new screenshot for you to compare it with other applications and now the font rendering is fine! Don't know what happened. Hope it will stay smooth now. Otherwise I will come back to you. Sorry and thank you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methodical Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Super old thread, but since I had the same issue with my RX 580 after applying new recommended settings by the AMD Radeon software, I assume that others will too. Fonts looked awful everywhere. I tried updating the driver and played with pretty much every setting I could find. This fixed it completely: Disabling Windows HD Colour (HDR) in Display Settings. Hope it helps others Phew, what a relief... Edited June 8, 2020 by Methodical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
