LS1440 1 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi there The text in Evernote is far less sharp than text written in Wordpad, which is a little frustrating. One aspect of my job is that I have to read tonnes of news reports and then write summaries. I find it useful copying and pasting text into Evernote and then using tags to organise all the information. However, I find I can read text in Evernote less comfortably and quickly than I can when I copy and paste into Wordpad because the text in Evernote is much less sharp. Why is this and can Evernote improve the sharpness of the text in its notes? Also it would help to be able to increase line spacing. Could this also be integrated? Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted June 16, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 16, 2015 That is shocking! It would be great if you could post a screenshot comparing the same text in both apps. Link to comment
LS1440 1 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Sure here you go. The snapshot is of Chinese text. But you can see clearly the difference. (edit: It's not as clear in the jpeg attachment viewing it on this page as it is on my desktop, not sure why.) Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted June 16, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks for the screenshot. Which image is from which app? BTW, text and drawings are usually best captured as a GIF file rather than a JPG. Link to comment
Level 5* gustavgi 308 Posted June 16, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 16, 2015 My guess is that it has to do with that Evernote has implemented a quick fix solution for people struggling with high DPI laptops. Try and right click the Evernote shorcut, pick Properties, and in the Compability tab, check Deactivate scaling at high DPI. Link to comment

LS1440 1 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sorry for the slow reply. I've attached another screenshot which is a bit clearer than the last one, but owing to the small file size limit on uploads it is still not showing fully the higher clarity of the wordpad doc (left) compared with the evernote note (right). I turned the high DPI scaling off but it made no difference. My screen is 1920x1080. Link to comment

MaggieRV 0 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have this problem now with Evernote in Windows 10, but never had the problem before and am not having the issue with any other software. Link to comment

On my XPS 13, Evernote looks horrid. I'll try this when I get back to my laptop. I need to do this on a couple of other apps as well. Link to comment
