UI of Pentaho Report Designer too small

I've recently downloaded many versions of Pentaho Report Designer (prd) and I face the same problem : the user interface is way too small on my 1920*1080 screen.

How can I increase the dpi and the icon/font size ?

I work on Windows 10.

Solution

  • I use PRD 8.1, on Windows, in report-designer.bat I change the following parameter to java launcher

    -Dswing.useSystemFontSettings=true

    For icons, Java JDK 9 and above should be able to fix it automatically because it will scale with the Windows DPI. Although, DPI can be changed with 

    -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2
