System console font is too big

FBISS1 · ‎09-14-2019

Hi !

When I open the Quartus 18.1 Lite Edition System Console, it is nearly unusable because some fonts are too big.

It is the only time where this happens, everywhere else in Quartus works fine.

Has someone encountered this problem ?

Is there a fix to it ?

Here's a screenshot :

Hi,

May you try to update Quartus Prime Lite 18.1.1?

If the problem still persist, please tell me as well.

Thanks

I’ve been using the 18.1.1 version since its availability.

Here's what I got if I use the "-debug" switch when launching the system console :

Hi,

I had try to install the Quartus Prime Lite through the link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/download-center.html with window 10, but i had no problem with it.

Can you provide the information as below:

OS version
Graphic driver version
Display resolution

Thanks

Hi,

Firstly, I had found that the insatllation of Quartus on Debian is not officially support as link as link: http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/requirements/18.1/ , which may cause the font size problem.

Also, I found out that you are using resolution 3840x2160, can you change the resolution to 1920x1080?

Thanks
