There are a few things that normally cause this, but the main culprits are:

- Font size (Large vs. small font)

- The main FoxPro window has a different font at design time than run time. THis can be changed with MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN FONT "MyFont", size. This should be run on the developer's PC prior to any work on the project, especially before working on screens and compiling. You should also issue the same command in the main.prg of the application so that it takes affect at runtime.

- Wrong font used. FPW defaults to the MS Sans Serif font, which turns out to be the worst font you can use. Make sure you are using a True Type font or the FoxFont for everything.
