High Resolution Display with Virtuoso

Hello,

Recently switched to a high resolution display for use with Virtuoso. As usual when switching to a 4k display, the fonts and icons are all way too small. I tried the following solution:

In .bashrc:

export CDS_2DFORM_FONT_SCALING=1

In my .cdsinit:

hiSetFont("<ciw, text, or label" ?size <font_size>)

The text becomes mostly readable, but it doesn't scale the windo or panel size - this makes aspects such as the assistants in layout challenging to use. Is there a better method to scale the application for a 4k monitor?

Thanks!

This is what I did when I had Display Scaling issue with Allegro.

Navigate to the Allegro.exe location,
C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2 or SPB_17.4\tools\bin\allegro.exe

And change the settings as below.
Right click allegro.exe → Properties → Compatibility tab → Change high DPI settings → Select the Override high DPI scaling behavior check box. Then click the Application drop-list arrow and select System.

Try and see if this helps.

Thanks! I'm unfortunately running Virtuoso on a Linux platform, so the Windows method won't work for me
