Re: High DPI - Win 10

Hello Steven,

I just would like to point out your outstanding attitude towards this
mailing list:
-you ask for help
-nobody could help you
-you "help yourself"
-you share with us what you found
-finally you also thank the mailing list

Chapeau.

Angelo

P.s. sorry if this is a bit off-topic but I wish we were a bit more like
you.
