Connecting from Ubuntu Windows client font is unreadable

[dave]

Hi, I have NoMachine server 5.0 running on Ubuntu, client 5.0 running Windows 10, my problem is client window font becomes too tiny and unreadable, how do I change the font and size for the client only without affecting the server settings, I tried “fit to windows”, “full screens” seems only a few options, and the resolution bar won’t move.

Thanks for any help.

Hello.

May I ask you if client is connected to a virtual display or to the physical display of the server?

Try to turn off “Display”->”Fit to window” in the NoMachine menu (ctrl+alt+0).

Moreover, turn off the automatic match of server resolution. You can do it in the welcome dialog just after session is established or at any time in the NoMachine menu “Display” -> “Change settings”.

Thanks for the information,

my client is a windows 7 laptop and server is a Ubuntu physical server. Not virtual ones.

I did tried your options, why client resolution can not be changed? It stays at 800X600.

I used to have version 3.5 pair and they worked perfectly, (though server was running Fedora), after I installed newer version, things got messed up.

Thanks

Did you try the slider “Resolution” in the third image?

Try also to resize the remote desktop using Ubuntu display settings. I you prefer you can run a terminal and use command “xrandr -q” to list the available resolutions and “xrandr -s” to set the preferred one.
