Measure your screen with a ruler.\r\n2. If in centimetres, convert to inches.\r\n3. Open a FontForge window and go to: `File` → `X Resource Editor`.\r\n4. In the `GDraw` section, correct the `Screen Width in Inches` field.\r\n5. Click `Save As`, and choose a location (like the FontForge preferences folder).\r\n6. Choose to `store this filename in preferences`.\r\n7. Save and restart FontForge.\r\n\r\nThen FontForge is finally the right size and usable. 😄 \r\n\r\nSome parts are not scaled properly though, like the toolbox or the metrics table.\r\n\r\n@ctrlcctrlv: Thanks for the tip on Windows, I’ll try it too.\r\n@davelab6: TruFont looks promising, I’ll follow the project.\r\n\r\nBy the way, I just found #2155 about the same issue."}}
