Terminal is significantly scaled down on MacOS

[l4tte]

The code

#include <stdio.h>
#include "BearLibTerminal.h"

int main()
{
    terminal_open();

    terminal_print(1, 1, "Hello, world!");
    terminal_refresh();

    while (terminal_read() != TK_CLOSE);

    terminal_close();
}

As taken from here will compile and run just fine, but the text is significantly scaled to 25% of the display

This happens with all BearLibTerminal terminals, for example, the SampleOmni program looks like this

And the mouse program looks like this (Mouse is in top right corner of screen)

My guess is that there's a mismatch between the window size in "points" and "pixels", and bearlibterminal is using one when it needs to use the other. I don't know how to fix it though.

I've been messing around with it, and you're right. It's an issue with glut too for the same reason

Has someone managed to workaround this or find the root cause?

[hazeled]

It's most likely because of MacOS' retina HiDPI screens, they're scaled up and have more pixels than a standard screen

Yeah, sounds likely. I'm guessing we're waiting for this then: #9
