I recently developed an application using FPW2.6 with Stonefield Appmaker 2.6d under Win95. The application looked fine in all of the screen resolutions that I tested it under (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768) on the Win95 machine on which it was developed. The application, however, needs to run on a laptop running Win3.1 using 640x480 screen resolution. I assumed that if it looked good in 640x480 on the Win95 machine, it would look fine in 640x480 under Win3.1 on the laptop. That assumption seems to be wrong. When the application was run, the login screen appeared, and the text to the left of the user name entry appeared to be too large and was cut off (i.e. it merely said "User N" instead of the full "User Name"). When the logo screen appeared, it too had the same type of problem. The name of the app was "The Price Analyzer" and only "The Price An" was showing. Also, a "Position is off the screen" error message appeared. It looked as if the window itself didn't size itself properly and therefore the text didn't have enough room. I read the manual :) (maybe not the right pages) and found on pg. 33 that "only TrueType fonts such as Arial and Courier New" should be used. I do know that the font of the logo screen is Times New Roman for "The Price Analyzer" text and I made sure that on the other screens, which I created myself, used only Arial and they still seemed to face this same problem. In a fit of desperation, I re-compiled the app on the laptop and still faced the same results. Is there anything I can do besides completely re-sizing the screens and/or changing all of the fonts? Any help is IMMENSELY appreciated.
