recompile on widescreen laptop messed up fonts?

I have recently inherited a vb.net desktop application that has a font
problem. The previous developer says he compiled the application one time on
a laptop with a widescreen. Since that compile all of the text in the
application (labels, text in textboxes, text in dropdowns, etc.) is of a
much smaller font. Its like something globally changed the font settings.

I've never seen anything like this. Does anyone have any idea of how to
change the font size globally?

Thanks

I have a bunch of custom fonts installed on my system. For instance if I look at the font drop-down in word pad I see about 90 fonts, but if I build an app using VS.Net, add a label, and try to change the font - I'm only given a choice of about 20 - the "standard" fonts which are installed with the OS (XP). How can I get the rest of my fonts in this box? Thanks.

I've recently noticed that there seems to be some font size differences (I'm guessing) in pages being viewed in FF 1.5 on my laptop which causes the whole layout to fall apart. You can see this page here: http://www.behealthy.com/healthy.cfm and look at the login section. The login boxes should be side-by-side but they're not when I view the page on my laptop. It looks fine on my desktop. I don't have this problem when I look at these...

I saw a few posts on this newsgroup about it but nothing to help me resolve this problem: We designed a window in .NET on a platform using small fonts (120 ppp).

This is kind of problematic because I have to redraw (resize) all the widgets...

Hi all Have a customer that wants a specific font included in her web page design; Comic Sans MS. This is one of the MS core fonts. The problem I have is that some of the *nix browsers do NOT include these fonts by default. http://www.diamondvet.com/test renders those fonts correctly using an XP box. After I installed those fonts on my machine, firefox and mozilla both rendered them correctly. So here is the question:
