Combinator label text bugged (Win10)
Posted: 29 Dec 2017

Just moved to a new PC and to Windows 10. Everything seems to be working fine except for the Combinator labels
This is how it's supposed to look (screenshot from the web) and how it looked for me on Win7:
This is how it looks now:
Obviously, the text labels aren't right. Hard to read. Is this a known Windows 10 issue? Or am I alone here? Any way to fix it? Is Reason/Windows missing a font or something?

Not too sure if the text on combi's is set with the windows font have you tried to use a custom font size?
or change the display settings in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display
I use a custom size 103% myself on Windows 7

Those are definitely due to your font settings.
Do you have 'Cleartext' disabled or something ?
Def. check your font and appearance settings,
has nothing to do with Reason itself.

Well, I found the Font settings in the Control Panel and ran the ClearType calibration, but it didn't help
Could I be missing a specific font?
Such a weird issue :/

Not weird, it's computers
If you have a high res screen, then also make SURE your DPI scale setting is at least 125%,
otherwise the fonts become unclear...(this is a Win10 exclusive thing apparently)
EDIT: before I forget, also check the most obvious: your screen resolution -> if it isn't set to its 'native' resolution you can also get fuzzy image, but then it's not limited to only the font...

1080p screen and the resolution is set correctly. Scaling shouldn't be needed. And it isn't post-GPU because I can screenshot it. Everything else displays fine (so far), so it's probably down to something oddly specific related to how Reason's Combinator gets its font.
And this is all on a very fresh install of Win 10. So weird.
I guess my only option is to contact PH support... But I'm lazy, it's holidays, and the issue isn't that pressing.

Well, the blurry font issue with scaling 'below' 125% IS very Win10 specific,
which would explain why you didn't suffer it in Win7 or 8.1 before...

Confirmed, this issue is reproducing on my screen.
I've tried all the suggestions given above regarding scaling, to no avail either.
I'm on the latest build Windows 10 v1709 (Fall Creators Update) also.

At 125% or higher scaling the font is the same, equally blurry, just bigger.
I also tried the compatibility scaling settings on the exe, but no luck.

Nice, at least I'm note alone

I know this is an old thread but did you find any fix for this ? I have the same problem here on Windows 10 and nothing seems to fix it.

I don’t think there is a fix, sadly. I never really noticed it until getting a high resolution monitor, but yeah, the Combi text is not easy to read.
I imagine this will be corrected whenever they roll out their new high DPI support, but no idea when that might be (or whether it will even be included as a free update to v11 or tied to the next version).

That´s just sad. I even tried to open Reason´s config file to see if I could change the font type or font size of some elements but the thing is encrypted. It looks like the only option is to wait for them to fix it but I have the feeling that it will take another 2-3 major updates until we see such thing as a "high DPI support" in Reason. They seem to just not care about these issues.

they’re actively working on high DPI support now. one of the Reason devs confirmed it in one of the topics here a few months ago.

That´s great news.
