I've just downloaded the Documentation and APiReference help files. However when I open them on my computer (which uses 200% scaling) they are unreadable with tiny text.  

Can someone tell the author(s) of these files to make them DPI aware? We're using Help&Manual for our own stuff and afaik it's just 1 setting in the .HHP file. Set the 'Font Size Encoding' to Pixels (not Points). I could be wrong on the exact setting but as said: our own Help files display fine and yours don't.

For now I found a trick to circumvent it but it's cumbersome and unneeded. The trick: copy HH.exe to a user folder. Set DPI compatibility for hh.exe to System(enhanced), then create shortcuts to the help files to use the compatible hh.exe)

A small change, a world of difference.
