Loading Processing on Surface Pro 4

I am a Math teacher and fairly new to Processing. I used it a little last year with my students and we all loved it. I have always been a Mac person, but recently got a Surface Pro 4 to use at school. When I loaded Processing onto it, the menu fonts were fine, but the sketch name, program lines, and error messages are tiny - unreadable even after I changed the font to 24. This also occurred in the Arduino program. Any suggestions?

  • Hi KariO,

    There is a bug (#2411) filed to track this issue for the PDE. Here is the link to the bug (https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2411). Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    Meanwhile, I downloaded the free Atom text editor on Windows (https://atom.io) and downloaded 2 plugins (processing and processing-language by bleikamp). The "processing" plugin requires a little bit of setup (https://atom.io/packages/processing).

    This setup at least solved my problem temporarily. Allows me to use Processing on my Windows laptop.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers, UnParaDisE

    However, the code will be large enough for you to read if you set the font to 24 or more.
    Only the titles and headings are shrunken
