IBM Rational Developer for i

I installed 9.8 and everything is good, but the font in all the windows and icons are huge. The menu bar font is normal. Do you know where I can reduce the font size?

After posting the message above I dragged RDi 9.8 to my laptop display and the font appears to be normal. The font and icons appear kindergartenish on my external monitor only. Is this a Windows setting for the application that I'm dealing with? 
RDi 9.6 didn't appear this way. 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Patrick,

I have also noticed this odd behavior. In my case, I was replicating my laptop to my 3rd monitor. And when I moved RDi to my 3rd monitor it would distort the font.

My solution was to no longer mirror, but use my laptop as a 4th monitor.

Hope this helps, and if not please contact IBM support so we can look deeper into your issue.

Response to the ticket

This is Mike Hockings from the RDI technical support team.

There are a couple of ways that you might address this behaviour.  One way is to. follow these steps:

close RDI

right click on RDI icon

select properties

select compatibility

check "DPI scaling" option

select "System (extended)"

Alternatively, you can try this:

Close RDi, set the external display as the Main display, then start RDi. Text and controls won't appear enlarged on the external display; they should be now what you expect.

Let me know what works for you.

I used the first set of instructions with a small variation. Here is my response to the ticket:

The options were a little different, but it worked out. Once I got to the compatibility tab I clicked the "Change high DPI settings" button. Then I checked the box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" Then I chose "System (Enhanced)"
