Layout Issues: Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts

Nelson's Complete Book of Mable Maps and Charts (Revised) has significant layout problems. For example:

Even reducing my font size to the smallest setting for the resource will not fix the problem of the words overlapping and exceeding cell boundaries:

If it were just an e-book, I wouldn't be surprised, but as a Logos Research Edition resource, shouldn't the quality of the charts be closer to standard expectations? If somebody has a hard copy, would you please confirm if some the charts are this bad in the printed version?

Are you running any sort of screen scaling in your display properties? Been my experience that many apps don't respond well to that and do things similar to what your picture is showing.

My Logos version looks OK - 1900x1200 screen with 150% scaling on PC, Logos at 100%

Great question and great point, Rich. I don't think that is the problem here, though. My display on my MacBook Pro has the resolution set to "default for display," rather than "scaled."

Thank you, John! I wish mine looked that good! I believe my display resolution, set at default, is 1680 X 1050 (no scaling). I have Logos content scaling set to 100% and Logos program scaling set to 100%.

Also on PC, I have a good image but have a horizontal scroll bar to accommodate the display within my tile width.

My screen is set to 1600 x 900 @ 110% and Logos scaling is 2x 100%. The actual screen size is 1920 x 1080.

This appears to be a Mac issue!

Yep ... on a Mac, the problem shows up. It's limited to 'At a Glance' tables from what I can see. One for each book (66 I guess!).

And if I were additionally guessing, the table dims are incorrect relative to bolded text, and then was probably copied over and over (66 times I guess!). In any event, it's an old Libby book; likely easy to fix (search/replace; last updated 2019).

Well on a PC screen resolution and scaling are not the same. Your version of windows will dictate if and how that works.

I always like to run whatever native resolution the monitor supports but I have been know to adjust the scale to compensate for my aging eyes.

Resolution very seldom causes issues with apps but scaling will as not all apps are very responsive to scale changes.
