Hi Alex,

I tried updating my graphics driver but it says its up-to-date.


you need to download the driver manually from video chip manufacturer website.

Hello, complaints about the fonts have been coming in. We'll see what can be done.

I suspect that FDM uses default fonts set by the Qt Framework. FDM 6 uses newer Qt version.

I have resorted back to 5.x series & have no problems with the fonts

only the 6.8 seems to be giving the eye strain.

Some more questions:
What about screen size? Is it native resolution or other resolution rescaled?
What about font scaling in your system? Is it 100% or fonts are resized to some non-standard value?
What about font antialiasing (ClearType settings)?


I didn't have any issue until I'd updated FDM to 6.x series.
I don't think I have a dedicated Graphic Card, its an old system- Core2Duo, have been using it for over 6 years & never even had to format once. Its Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family


resolution - 1360*768, Orientation - Landscape
Fonts & all other settings are default - 100%, haven't changed anything.

I have no clue about this ClearType settings, never touched them before.

those are PNG, they are screenshots from my laptop. Which I cropped & saved via Paint.

If you looked the images closely, they are different ones. Look at the area around Free Download Manager written area - I don't recall what its called - taskbar ? , you see a different background for both the images. First one has a a greyish/whitish background while the newer one has blackish - that's because of the different programs I was running in the background.

here's the image again, with using Paint in the background software, all the 3 screenshots have been taken at different instances.

For the second screenshot - its more clearly visible, it has multiple colors in its taskbar.


This the same method I have used for ages even for my work purposes.
