App display different on PCs other than development PC

Part of an app I developed in VB.Net populates a listbox with data using a
uniformly spaced font (Courier New) and spaces the data out evenly into
columns. When I run the application from my own machine, everything looks
fine. When I install it anywhere else, though, the font appears smaller,
which totally offsets it from the heading labels I have on the form.

At first I thought it was an issue of the font not being installed on the
other machines, but I was able to find it on all of the machines I've tried.
Is there anything I can try?

On a related note, I recently added a splash screen to my app. While it
looks fine on my display, everywhere else the right edge is clipped. How am
I supposed to develop when I can't see what other people will see when they
run my apps?

Thanks for your help.
