Roblox Studio font is barely readable

[butterthebig]

Hi all - if you are experiencing this issue we believe it to be a setting issue on the local machine (hence the fix from driver/studio reinstall). If you are experiencing this, can you please check:

• DPI/Scaling settings for the machine and/or the app specifically
• Driver settings for the machine/app, specifically anti-aliasing

Let us know here if you have this with a screen shot, and what kinds of settings you have.

Thanks!

I got this same issue today after restarting PC. The script editor looks fine, the output, popups and toolbox too. Everything else is unreadable

My windows scaling is 100%, changing it doesn’t help. Enabling/disabling anti-aliasing and scaling in the Nvidia control panel doesn’t help either.

• Windows 11
• 2560 x 1440
• GTX 970
• Latest GeForce driver 536.4

Hi, thanks for getting back - can you check your High DPI settings on a per app basis:

Do you have any overrides?

Also, some systems have a “ClearType” properties window - do you have any settings there (Look for “Personalization->Font” in settings)

Last thing would be to please DM a log from starting studio with this, and a screenshot if you can.

Thanks!

I solved my problem by installing latest windows updates KB5029263 and KB5028948.

No, I don’t have any overrides and ClearType settings.

Thanks for the help

Thanks for sharing - at this point it for sure feels this is an OS level issue, so we can have some of these solutions here as a reference for others seeing the same problem. If someone ends up with a reproducible, 100% consistent case please let us know.

I just started having this problem after my machine crashed.
https://i.imgur.com/lWiVy8F.png - Make sure to view it at 100% scale to see effect.

Settings: (Were turned on/off and Roblox Studio restarted each time. E.g. Each state of each setting was tested and Studio restarted for each state.)
Clear Type settings: Custom settings or off, no difference.
Turned off scaling: no difference. (Was simply 150% for the higher resolution monitor, no application-specific scaling.)
No DPI adjustments.

Windows 10. No pending updates.
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 (Updated drivers. No difference)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti
1 3840x2160 monitor & 3 1080p. Issue is consistent on each.

Will DM last log. I can also DM a log from before the issue occurred.

For those coming to this bug report again, I’ll mark it as resolved. It seems to still happen, as far as I know it’s caused by a Windows update corrupting the roblox fonts.

Just uninstall everything of Roblox studio and reinstall it until it works again👍
