Report Viewer - scaling issue with system DPI change

Question

I have a Winforms application (in Visual Studio 2010) that contains a Report Viewer control that previews and prints an A4 size report.

One user has his Windows font

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem. WinForms ReportViewer is already DPI aware and will do its own scaling. You just have to tell the system that your application is DPI aware so that the system doesn't try to scale it after.

Add a manifest to your application if you haven't already, then inside the tag, add the following:

  
    
      true
    
  

You can also use an API function SetProcessDPIAware, but it is recommended against: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633543.aspx
