# Q&A: Fonts, Text
|
||||
|
||||
### Q: How should I handle DPI in my application?
|
||||
|
||||
The short answer is: obtain the desired DPI scale, load a suitable font resized with that scale (always round down font size to nearest integer), and scale your Style structure accordingly using `style.ScaleAllSizes()`.
|
||||
|
||||
Your application may want to detect DPI change and reload the font and reset style being frames.
|
||||
|
||||
Your ui code should avoid using hardcoded constants for size and positioning. Prefer to express values as multiple of reference values such as `ImGui::GetFontSize()` or `ImGui::GetFrameHeight()`. So e.g. instead of seeing a hardcoded height of 500 for a given item/window, you may want to use `30*ImGui::GetFontSize()` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Down the line Dear ImGui will provide a variety of standardized reference values to facilitate using this.
|
||||
|
||||
Applications in the `examples/` folder are not DPI aware partly because they are unable to load a custom font from the file-system (may change that in the future).
|
||||
|
||||
The reason DPI is not auto-magically solved in stock examples is that we don't yet have a satisfying solution for the "multi-dpi" problem (using the `docking` branch: when multiple viewport windows are over multiple monitors using different DPI scale). The current way to handle this on the application side is:
|
||||
- Create and maintain one font atlas per active DPI scale (e.g. by iterating `platform_io.Monitors[]` before `NewFrame()`).
|
||||
- Hook `platform_io.OnChangedViewport()` to detect when a `Begin()` call makes a Dear ImGui window change monitor (and therefore DPI).
|
||||
- In the hook: swap atlas, swap style with correctly sized one, remap the current font from one atlas to the other (may need to maintain a remapping table of your fonts at variying DPI scale).
|
||||
|
||||
This approach is relatively easy and functional but come with two issues:
|
||||
- It's not possibly to reliably size or position a window ahead of `Begin()` without knowing on which monitor it'll land.
|
||||
- Style override may be lost during the `Begin()` call crossing monitor boundaries. You may need to do some custom scaling mumbo-jumbo if you want your `OnChangedViewport()` handler to preserve style overrides.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that if you are not using multi-viewports with multi-monitors using different DPI scale, you can ignore all of this and use the simpler technique recommended at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q: How can I load a different font than the default?
|
||||
Use the font atlas to load the TTF/OTF file you want:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
|
||||
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("myfontfile.ttf", size_in_pixels);
|
||||
io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsRGBA32() or GetTexDataAsAlpha8()
