Question

Increase a font in a Flash-based web application

I'm extensively using an analytic panel offered by one of my company's business partners. It's based on Flash technology.

My problem is that I have a 4K/UHD monitor and the font in the application is always the same and way too small - I can't figure out how to change it (and if it's possible). It's readable when on Full HD resolution but with my monitor's native resolution you'd need a magnifying glass to see anything.

Is there any way to make the font bigger?

You might experiment with your choice of browsers.  Not all browsers provide us with the information we need to scale correctly (yet) on all operating systems, and we continue to work with those vendors to try and move things forward.


To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

Actually I've tried several borowsers, incl. Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Internet Explorer and Edge (all run on Win 10 x64 Pro). In my case only Internet Explorer (v. 11.20) was able to scale the Flash font to certain extent (after enlarging it too much, the fonts got blurred). All other browser failed...

Interesting.  We'd really need to be able to debug it in C++ to understand why scaling doesn't work, but my guess it that this is related to the content, and not Flash per-se.  It's definitely possible to author content in ways that won't scale, but Flash *is* aware of high-resolution displays and zoom factors in IE, Edge and Chrome in Win8+ and will scale given the opportunity.
