it is a known issue with v11 and v12. 4D v13 fixes the problem.

So you have 2 choices:

1. Upgrade to v13 or higher and it will fix the problem

2. Make changes to your forms to make the fonts bigger so they are readable on 
Windows 8 and Windows 10. Of course your Windows 7 users will now complain 
because for them the font size will be too big. I have seen a few posts where 
some developers worked around this by adding program code to change the font 
sizes of items on the form to a bigger size when running on Windows 8.

Yes, look for this on the NUG:  Printing on Windows 8.1 & 4Dv12

This is the answer:

Diminute font size using Windows 8

[Rafael Escoté Climent]

Hi all,

one of our old customers just migrated their 4d client OS systems (they were 
using Windows 98 or Windows 7, i’m not sure)
to Windows 8.x

They discovered that our old client/server app (developed in 4D v11 years ago…) 
is now presenting the reports on a very, very tiny, small  font!! (unreadeable!)

Any ideas? 
Any known uncompatiblity of 4D v11 reports on Windows 8?

TIA,
Rafa Escoté (former senior prog. at Blausoft s.l.)
