I have created a VI in Labview 7.1 in 2006 on Windows XP.
Now I wanted to use it again, under the runtime engine, but now I have Windows 7 and the control panel looks different.
On my current computer I have to use Windows system font 125% otherwise I would not see stuff on my screen. This causes the font on the VI to overrun other objects and it looks messy. If I change the system fonr to 100% then the VI looks good, just I cannot really use my computer for anything else at this 100% font setting.
I have no Labview Licence anymore, so I cannot modify the VI, all I can do is to run the EXE under the runtime engine.
I thought I would write these into my VI ini file, to compensate for the font enlargement:
FPFont="Arial" 7
BDFont="Arial" 7
appFont="Arial" 7
dialogFont="Arial" 7
systemFont="Arial" 7
Actually that is all that is in the ini file.
The problem is, the appearance of the VI is not effected by whatever I set in the ini file. That 7 at the end of the lines was supposed to set the font to be small (size 7), but it does nothing.
What is wrong? How to fix this?
