>>I also suggest that you test your form with Windows configured in both "small" and "large" fonts on the desktop. Some fonts such as Arial work fine since it only gets larger in height, while other fonts get larger in height and width which will turn your form into a mess.

>That isn't right. If the Arial font only got larger in height, but not width, then 72 point would be the same width as 6 point, which it isn't. Point size refers to the height of a character. The width is then changed in proportion to make the character look correct.

Craig,
I guess I agree. It seemed like I had a form once that had a font that only got larger in height by changing the Windows display settings to "Large fonts". Anyway, I can't remember the font, and Arial definitely keeps it's proportion like you said.

What I should have said, is to make sure that you test your form in "Large font" mode if you use non-true type fonts such as "Terminal", "Foxfont", "Small Fonts", "MS Sans Serif" ... etc., because the form could turn into a mess. These fonts may be necessary if you need to display extended ASCII characters or you a fixed width font in a specific style.

David,
