Maybe it's a driver issue. You could try temporarily changing the video driver to one of the MS-supplied standard drivers (VGA, Super VGA, or XGA) and see if that makes a difference. You'll lose the acceleration, but the driver(s) should be compatible with any video card.

>>>I am having trouble with the fontmetrics command. On several PCs it seems to give me results twice as large as others for the average and maximum font widths. This is happening on Win98 PCs with SIS graphics cards, have not seen it anywhere else. I use twice the average plus the maximum divided by 3 to size the columns in grids. it has worked great up till now.
