Dear friends,
My eyes asked me to enlarge the fonts in Windows 7. I did so by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting Screen resolution, then "make text and other items larger or smaller." I left the screen resolution unchanged but increased font size to 125%. Now, if I launch Thetis, it immediately crashes with an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" message. Similar behavior was noted on this forum a couple of years ago... is there any work-around other than setting Windows' fonts back to 100%?
Thanks,

I think this problem has been noted before. The correct way to change the font in Thetis is by going into Settings/General. No issues with that here. I'm running Windows 11 on one machine and RPi on another.

And how exactly can that be done? I see zero options for changing font or font size in Thetis.

There are some subtleties. I'm running Win10Pro, a 4K display, and it runs at 150% scaling no problem.

I don't see any options for font size in Thetis either. That wasn't my original complaint, however. I had changed font size in Windows 7 and now Thetis won't launch. Scott... Yes, Thetis seems to run fine on Windows 10 with enlarged Windows fonts. It's Windows 7 that is the problem.

Surprisingly, 150% works OK; it's just 125% font enlargement that causes Thetis to crash on start-up under Windows 7. Weird.
