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.
