[Solved] Default Font on Windows 10
lazarus / 31-LCL

I am having trouble with fonts on Windows 10.  When I run Lazarus (I'm
using v1.8.2), everything looks good.  I create a form, put a button
on it, put a TSelectDirectoryDialog on it and for code of the button,
I just perform an Execute on the dialog.

If I right-click the Dialog icon and choose Test Dialog, it looks
correct.

When I run my app, the fonts do not look correct.  The button font is
different than Windows 10 default and slightly bold.  The same for the
dialog font.

I've attached a good version (what Test Dialog shows) and a bad
version (what my app shows).

Since Lazarus itself looks right, I'm guessing I have to set something
in my app to use the correct default font.  What does Lazarus do?

That is because of the dpi awareness of your program.
Change the dpi settings to be dpi aware in your project options and it
will look goog again.

Thank you both.  Turning on DPI awareness solved the problem.
