I already went to Assignments -> Settings -> VHDL input, but 1993 or 2008 makes no difference.

I'm just noticing you wrote Quartus Prime Pro, I'm using Lite. I hope it's not that.

As far as not using fixed_pkg at all, I don't know how involved that is.

With the package it seems,

- I can easily declare variables

- just use operators without having to worry about the decimal point

- use resize etc.

Reinventing the wheel is prone to introducing errors, whilst a mature package already exists.

I still have David Bishop's stuff downloaded. Maybe I'll get that to work. I'm sure people have succeeded doing that.
