Hi Dan,

the weird thing is the users say that Arial is installed! I think I have a Korean installation from some time ago that I'll look into installing and see if I can duplicate the problem.

Thanks for the advice of using AFONT().

It has recently come to light that our forms that use Arial, 9pt for the labels display as if the font is Courier, but only at the Korean installations. Of course this means that some of the labels are illegible. Every where else is fine. Has anyone ever come across this before?
