Scintilla poor font quality

Does anyone know why the fonts look so (relative) bad/blurry in Scintilla, and if it can be improved? I have already experimented with #SCI_SETFONTQUALITY, but it doesn't really help.

I have used scintilla extensively, and never noticed it. Maybe you have a bad font, or you are using a bad font size.
I've used it at low res screens smaller than 1280x1025, and 4k.

A screenshot showing what you mean would be fine.

What OS and what PB version?
I've only seen blurry Scintilla in the past when having DPI issues... like the OS was scaling up a non-DPI-aware program... haven't noticed in a while though.

Sorry, I was not using the newest PB and now that I updated it the PB editor itself looks much better! (I suppose PB is also using Scintilla?) The Scintilla editor in my own app still looks bad though. I am using Windows 10 with scaling (225%) and it seems the problem is not there if I turn off scaling..
ps. in this newer version of PB the icons are too tiny, and if I turn off scaling they become even tinier!

Ok, it seems I just need to call SetDPIAware()..
