Texts turns in grey rectangles

Hello!

I have the latest Archicad 25 version, and I have a Macbook Pro 14'' laptop with the new M1 pro chip, and I have a problem with my Archicad projects. When I zoom out my 2D plans, the text turns into grey and unreadable rectangles, and I haven't found anything that could change that. It is really hard to work with this because I don't have the overall appearance of the project, only these grey rectangles.

Hope it is possible to fix this!

Hello mm_v,

See below does this compare to your worries ?

The display of texts becomes simple gray bars when readability on the screen becomes impossible. I invite you to print this view at all printing scales, you will be able to see if your texts are printed correctly.

Hi Christophe!
Thank you for your reply!
I was worried that only I see dimensions and texts that way, but now I understand that it is normal. It is just hard to get that overall image of my 2D plans, and that is why I wanted to know if there maybe be an option for how I can make these dimensions and texts not turn into these simple grey bars when I zoom out.
But when I save them as a pdf or print out, everything is good, no problems there. 🙂
