I recently installed ST4 Visual on a HP Laptop (4K & Nvidia Graphics). All my apps produce crystal clear text except ST4. I am trying to ascertain what I am doing wrong. Has anyone else experienced blurry text and if so then how did you remedy? See screen capture. Thanks.

Your screen capture looks just fine to me. I'm viewing on a 4k 27" monitor.

Hello,
It would help me to know what the resolution of the screen is, and whether or not scaling of the screen/fonts is enabled. You can check these in your graphics settings.
I had another similar report recently. It too involved an HP laptop. The way this works is that SkyTools tells Windows what font it wants to use, and what size and other attributes, and then Windows passes this on to the graphics driver, which actually does the drawing. So SkyTools is actually pretty far up the chain, and there isn't a lot I can do.
We had a similar issue years ago with SkyTools 3, but that was because SkyTools was using a legacy graphics subsystem and the cheap graphics card manufactures were not bothering to support it properly. I modernized the graphics in SkyTools 4 to resolve the problem, which also made the fonts look nicer overall.
When I got the other report last week, I looked into it, and the only thing I could come up to do was to be more careful in specifying how the font is to be drawn. I implemented that and it will come along with the next update. But I have no way to test that it did anything since SkyTools looks fine on all of my devices.
My Resolution and Scaling are below. Also, I have an LG Gram laptop which exhibits the same and I can loan that to you for testing/exploration. Thanks.

FWIW, my scaling is set to 225%.

Hello. I noticed that the observer name is Pete. Are you the same Pete who emailed my support about this issue?
