FrameMaker will run on a Mac only in a Windows emulator. Seems like most people use Parallels. Here's their knowledge base article on Retina displays:
http://kb.parallels.com/en/114700 The native resolution of my 15-inch Retina MacBook's screen is 2880x1800, which is about 220 ppi. If I switch it to that mode, everything is unreadable and lots of UI elements are too small to click accurately. This mode is occasionally useful for editing large graphics when I don't have an external monitor. The MacBook's default mode is 1440x900 HiDPI, which is 2880x1800 but each UI element uses four times as many pixels for smoother fonts etc. I don't find text sharper or more readable on the Retina display than I do on a more standard-resolution external display. I find text sharper and more readable with Windows and ClearType on a standard-resolution display than with OS X and Retina. The OS X UI provides only vague and coarse settings for this stuff. SwitchResX is essential if you want fine control. > On 4/15/15 2:26 AM, Austin Meredith wrote: > > Because of fading eyesight due to old age, I have been thinking about > upgrading my hardware and software.
