Hi all.
I've recently learned about FG from a friend in my gaming group, and think the program is great. The only problem is that I struggle to see much of it on my new laptop!
The whole program appears small and text is difficult to read. Even when increasing the scale factor using the program settings, the text is blurry. I believe this is a dpi issue but I'm not certain.
Things I have tried:
- using winetricks to install Microsoft fonts in the prefix where I've installed FG
- changing my monitor resolution to lower values (even going down as low as 1024x768 - everything still blurry)
- trying another linux computer (worked great, which is why I think it's the display on my laptop)
- setting X11 DPI with xrandr to what I calculated was the correct value (no effect on FG)
- setting wine DPI under Graphics tab in winecfg (made everything bigger but fonts and text in general were still blurry)
- changing the scale factor value in the FG settings (once again, made everything bigger but fonts still blurry)
I'm about out of ideas. The computer is an ASUS 505dy which has an AMD video card using the amdgpu open source driver. The desktop environment I'm using is XFCE. The wine version is 3.7. I'm posting away from home so I do not have access to the system to provide screenshots, but can do so later tonight if needed. Thank you.
