Netflix font too small movie#
Call me cynical, but when Netflix can’t find a better word to describe a film than its country of origin, I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume this movie sucks. The most unlikely example I’ve found so far is “Peruvian,” which is used to describe a romantic comedy called “Without Saying Goodbye” (aka “Backpackers”). It’s the ultimate idiot’s guide: an entire film or show reduced to three simple words or phrases. You know, those three words the team at Netflix – well, I assume it’s a team and not one overworked person or, worse, an algorithm – devises to get subscribers to click on something and watch. Instead, I was reading the adjectives used to describe them. I wasn’t watching any actual shows or films. Just for further troubleshooting, I changed the locale back to English (Australian) and even English (United States), and the problem returned.Indeed, I was thinking about that very line again last week while I was wasting a couple of hours on Netflix poring over the streaming site’s content. I was just randomly troubleshooting the problem and accidentally stumbled upon this fix.
Netflix font too small update#
System operating fine all the way until WindCreators Update.What is even more weird was the thing that "fixed" it.
Netflix font too small pro#
Recently, we had a Surface Pro 3 exhibit some weird behavior with menu fonts (all other fonts were okay, only menu fonts). My recommendation would be to always try "System (enhanced)" first and fall back to "System" if that doesn't work. System (enhanced) - Only works with certain (GDI) programs but will scale programs whilst reducing the amount of blurring.System - Windows will stretch the UI, this will cause all text and graphics to become blurry.Application - The default setting, scale only if a program reports itself as not high DPI aware.Previously you needed to change a registry setting and use manifest files to resolve this - however in the latest version of Windows you can now right click on the executable, select properties and override the DPI setting: Unfortunately a number of programs incorrectly say "yes" (when they actually mean "no") and, as a result, end up being displayed extremely small. If a program says "yes", then Windows lets the program do the scaling. If a program says "no", then Windows handles the scaling to ensure that they aren't microscopic. When programs run, Windows says "hey, are you high DPI aware?". One possible reason is because you're using a high DPI screen.
