I preferred the old font with dot in the center of the zero!

The old fonts are still there.

I use the v3.20.8a for about 2 month and didn't found any issue. Because the changes in the v3.20.8b do not affect me, I didn't do the update. The 3.20.8a seems as solid as 3.19.7 but with one irritating bug fixed. I have cleared the calc state and downgraded the firmware, to no avail. My problem w...

The power loss issue that I reported under "Hardware issues" in the forum https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3082 seems to be connected somehow to DM42pcm-3.20.8b . I have not been able to pinpoint the problem exactly, and may be wrong. OTOH DM42pcm3.19.7 is solid. I h...

Loving the new font!

Interestingly, when I opened the calculator, I found that the actual battery voltage stays very close to 3 V. The on screen voltage indicator is what changes. If I do an operation that uses power, like reading or writing to the flash memory, the actual battery voltage dips only momentarily. The on s...

I will try a different battery make. But it does not explain why the voltage recovers after switching on.

I got my DM42 over 3 years ago, May 2018, and it has used very little power. I changed the battery earlier this year. Suddenly, over the last few days, consumption WHILE OFF suddenly increased. The voltage is around 2.98v while in use. However, when powered on after being off for a couple of hours, ...

Seems to be working fine.

Hello

I have a DM42 and I very happy wit it but I have old eyes and for me it would very useful to allow bigger font, I think that there are enough free screen space even on current largest font.

Best regards

I am with you on that one. Even the lousy hp35s does better.

I think to assign shift F3 would not be so much benefit as the downside not being 100% compatible with the Original when PCM is of. If someone needs more functions with F3 then it would already possible now if you start a menu program with DM42F3. I think the actual version is near the optimum, the...
