RichText looks different in certain PC

Post by 045 »

For the normal is using Windows 11 Home Single Language, for the not normal is using Windows 11 Pro. What should I do to make it same preview? Same report using, but different outcome come out in preview. I already try to set Wysiwyg = True or False also useless. Version using for both pc is 2025.3.4 from 18 August 2025, WinForms, .NET 4.8. Note that my stimulsoft is integrated into another application; it is not installed as standalone software. My text is using RichText to display it. Font using is Calibri, and both PC have this font type.

Hello,

We are using the standard NetFramework RichText component to show rich text. This component using a standard Windows library. And it has very limited functionality.
And unfortunately, it is almost impossible to control these operations. So most of the time RichText is rendered "as is".

Also, each version of Windows has its own version of the system library, which may work slightly differently, differently calculating the height of the lines depending on the system scaling, fonts, etc.

Try to check the latest build.
If it does not help, it will most likely remain as is, or provide information about OS version, scaling, etc. and we will try to reproduce it.

Thank you.
