Once you have confirmed the Unicode setting, there is another setting to check. On the Windows desktop, right-click on a blank portion and choose "Screen Resolution" from the menu that appears. Then click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller". There are 3 choices. Adagio requires "Smaller (100%) Default". Click on the "Apply" button to save the change. Close and re-open any Adagio modules.
As technology allows screen resolution to climb and age mandates that our eyesight declines, some people choose "Medium". Not only does that shrink the printing of forms (ie cheques, invoices), it also makes the Adagio entry screens look jumbled with buttons and fields not fitting. If screens are too hard to read, adjust Screen Resolution to a lower number.
