<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There are a number of people on this
list (I believe) who have dealt with issues using FM12 on retina
MacBook Pro laptops. I know it's not exactly the same thing, but
it's well beyond the "compatible" resolution for FM. You might
search the archives for "retina" or perhaps those people will
chime in with their experiences.<br>

Good luck!<br>

<div> Because of fading eyesight due to old age, I have been
thinking about upgrading my hardware and software. I'd like to
purchase a new iMac loaded with the Windows operating
system, because of Apple's amazing brilliant precise 5K Retina
monitor on which print appears so crisp, and then run FrameMaker
12 under Windows on that iMac. However, when I contacted Adobe
about whether it was possible to run FrameMaker 12 at full
screen resolution on the 5K Retina monitor, they responded that
-- despite the fact that the 5K Retina monitor has been being
sold for some time now, they have yet to test this! </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Apparently Adobe's attitude is that I would need to first
pig-in-a-poke purchase the latest Apple hardware, and download
and install their latest Adobe software, and then test for
native screen resolution *myself*. --If it should turn out that
FM12 won't run on the 5K Retina screen I had just purchased at
full resolution, then I'm SOL, and shame on my eyes for getting
old. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Question #1: Has anyone on this list succeeded in running
FM12 at full screen resolution on a 5K Retina monitor? Or, has
it been necessary to degrade the resolution of the screen in
order to run FM12? Question #2: If it has been necessary to
degrade the resolution of this monitor in order to run FM12, how
does FM12 look on this monitor? --Is it superior in quality of
image, crispness of print, etc., or is it inferior? Question #3:
Should I instead purchase some other brand of monitor for the
visually disabled, such as the latest hi-res big-screen monitor
offered by Dell? </div>

<div> (This was Adobe's response: "The Compatible screen
resolution is 1024x768 screen resolution (1280x800 recommended)
mentioned under <a moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank"
href="http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/systemreqs.html">http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/systemreqs.html</a>.
5K Retina screen has not yet been tested with FrameMaker 12. We
had tested 4K with FrameMaker 12 and were experiencing issues
with the display and eventually had to adjust the display
resolution. However, If you want you can install the trial
version for FrameMaker 12 and check if it works fine with your
display or not.") </div>
