When using CodeBlocks on HiDPI the font has be increased manually by the user.
for example I use usually font size 14 on most of my programs (text editors, IDEs, Terminals...) and all of them scale it (x2.5). but with CodeBlocks I have to change it manually to 36 (~14x2.5)

    Miguel told me about it in https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/1297/#f493 about it. but I forgot about with new Installation.

    Shouldn't be the default on Windows because It's supported By Vista+?

    DirectWrite has other issues, if you want to use C::B from Windows remote desktop, DirectWrite option will cause C::B crash, I have report such issue several times in C::B's forum.

    @ ollydbg
    Would you open a separate ticket for the Window remote crash and attach the .RPT file.
    Thanks

    I'll close this ticket after a while..

    I don't think this issue could be considered be fixed since the user has to manually adjust parameters.
    DirectWrite should be enabled by default.
