Petr Soucek Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 In "Desktop Properties", I see: Font Resolution 96 dpi Pixel Width / Height 36 / 36 Pixel Diagonal 51 What does these numbers mean? I only know that my display has pixel pitch 0.27 mm, but width, height and diagonal? And "Font Resolution" is the same value as "Pixel Density" in Monitor Properties.

Fiery Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Font Resolution is LOGPIXELSY from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd144877(v=vs.85).aspx Pixel Width is ASPECTX from the same call. Pixel Height is ASPECTY, and Pixel Diagonal is ASPECTXY. Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Soucek Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thank you, LOGPIXELSY = Number of pixels per logical inch along the screen height. But what is "logical inch"? ASPECTX = Relative width of a device pixel used for line drawing. Relative to what? And what is line drawing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character ? Apparently these ASPECT numbers are not correct: http://www.masmforum.com/board/index.php?topic=8298.0 I'd like to understand what it means to create meaningful translation.

Fiery Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm afraid I don't know the answers. Some bits and pieces of Windows are quite mysterious, even to us If you're unsure about the translation, then either leave the terms in English, or translate them directly, word by word.
