FWIW, Tahoma gives the same results as Arial. Verdana and Comic Sans also give the same results as Arial under ReportBehavior 90, but in addition the 9-pt size of Verdana and Comic Sans is problematic in the detail band under ReportBehavior 80 as well.

Yes, I was misremembering, had no way to look this up earlier. It's TNR not Arial that has the problem.

Please run the code below in VFP 9 -- notice it has *nothing* to do with the report engine -- and you will see what I am talking about.

Meanwhile the reason you are seeing what you have diagnosed as a "problemmatic" point size of 9 is probably not what you think. I will respond to your report issue separately.
