Soundings data unreadable

[baltika_no_9]

I'm running OpenCPN 5.0.0 on a Raspberry pi.

The soundings data I see is barely readable. It's the same at any level of zoom and affects both CM93 and OESENC charts. I can't seem to find any obvious settings that might affect this and would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

If I adjust the chart object scale factor the text becomes bigger but not much clearer.

Please see attachments

Many thanks

UPDATE
After playing about with the scaling factor I think I've now managed to get something which is usable, I'd have preferred small crisp text but at least the bigger text can be read even though it takes up a lot of space and adds clutter.

What I see now is a reasonable compromise.

I think the crispness has more to do with the color of the text than the resolution!
Perhaps there should be a way to adjust that? I agree with you about this, but it is much improved since bdbcat made the soundings text adjustible!

[baltika_no_9]

Yes the colour contrast is probably more of the issue. The ability to scale the text is definitely an excellent option though.

Take into account that the digits (and decimals) of soundings are raster icons not vector objects.
Hence scaling will bring up results that are not plain eye candy.

Bcn, that's right, I forgot they are raster. Hence there is also a difficulty changing the color, unless there is some easy way to change all the icons.... but as I recall they are all in one giant raster file...and modifying that becomes problematical.
