Is it possible to determine the screen scaling factor within QB64? - hanness - 05-06-2022

I posted earlier about an issue involving font sizes on a screen. I've figured out how I can perform manual calculations, but I need to know the screen scaling factor to make my calculations.

Is there some way that I can ascertain the scaling factor from within QB64?

Use _DeskTopWidth, _DeskTopHeight for maximum screen pixels, scale from those numbers.

Just to follow up and close the loop on this question, using the _FONTHEIGHT and _FONTWIDTH worked perfectly for me. The calculations work perfectly using that.
