>>Large vs small fonts is only one of the problems. Make sure that you aren't using the MS Sans Serif font *ANYWHERE* in the application. Unfortunately, this is the default font...and as it turns out, the worst font you can use. The best choice is probably Arial because it looks alot like MS Sans Serif and ships with Windows, so users should have it installed. You also need to make sure the default screen font is set the same in both development and runtime. Put MODIFSY WINOW SCREEN FONT "font", size early in your program. Make sure it matches what you have set in development.


No, it has to do with the font metrics and the fact it isn't true type...and it is the default font in FPW. Arial is true type. There was an article several years ago in FoxPro Advisor by Nancy Jacobsen(?) that went into detail on this.
