5250 session blurry in Windows 10 1920x1080 screen with 125% zoom

5250 session screen very blurry after new installed laptops with 1920x1080 screen and 125% zoom.
With 100% zoom, the letters on the screen are to little.
Default font IBM3270.

I've tried to change the properties from Access Client Solutions on my desktop in the compatibility tab and changed the DPI settings in Override high DPI scaling behavior, and select Application from the dropdown.
But that don't change the blurry letters


Use Case:

Access Client Solutions
Create 5250 session
Open 5250 .hod session

    In addition to trying suggestions made by others (Font Scaling, Font Antialiasing, Font Name) at Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Font... , you should also try adjusting the size of the 5250 window. Also, if you are still using JDK 8, I'll suggest moving to JDK 11 since JDK 8 is not DPI aware. There are free versions of Java 11 here:

    If you are still not able to improve the appearance, you can open a call with our Service team.

    Greetings

    Have you tried changing the font to PCOMM and enabling scalable fonts option, I think this might give you a work around in the short term

    Best wishes Steve

    You might want to switch to a different font. Lucide Console is what I tend to use, although I used to use the Letter Gothic BOLD font as well. Lucide seems to be the only font that looks okay on ACS, although be sure to set the Scale option and toggle the Anti Alias check-box to see which setting works best for you.
