I thought if I specified Veranda 10 in my application that, if Windows was
English language, the font would be the same everywhere. But I just saw a
screenshot of my application from a site in the UK this morning and... the
font's a different size. Someone please tell me fonts aren't different
depending on the country? Is there a fix?

Web application or Windows Forms application? For Windows Forms apps:
Maybe the machine is running with another # of dpi, for web forms, maybe
you have used a relative unit like percent or em and the user has
selected larger fonts in Internet Explorer or his webbrowser.

Windows forms. Don't web application questions belong in another newsgroup?
What do you mean by # of dpi? If it matters, this is in the context of a
grid control; on the UK machine the letters are shown a little too big for
the grid lines, which looks really bad.

There are separate groups for web forms and windows forms.

Large vs. small fonts in the display settings.

On the forms properties, have you got AutoScale set?? It looks like it's
True by default.
I'd try changing your screen resolution and font sizes and then
experimenting with the look of your form with AutoScale set True and then
False.

Simple question... which is better to use for defining font sizes and why?
px and em seem to be the leading candidates. I know what the general answer
is going to be, but I'm hoping to ultimately get some good real world
examples.
Fire away! :)

Hi All,
I've run into a bit of an interesting problem with CSS and font DPI and
would certainly welcome help.
Problem:
Page layout defined in CSS has font size issues (overlapping frames, text
overflowing out of popup window, etc) on a windows systems using 120dpi
fonts (large fonts), but everything looks perfect in 96dpi small fonts.

Assuming default set-ups and considering all reasonable browsers,

As I understand it, most browser manufacturers have agreed on 16px for their
default font size.
So, this should be an accurate conversion for percentages:
px %
16 = 100
14 = 87.5
13 = 81.25

Hello Group
On my website I used to have Tahoma 8pt defined in my CSS styles. That gives
me the "normal" font Windows uses everywhere in its dialogues.
However, on Linux things seem to be different. If I want a font equal in
size to Windows' Tahoma 8pt, I need to set 11 as font size. This has the
result that text on my website is too small for Linux systems at the
moment.
Could you tell me what I need to do in order to get the same...

In his book "CSS: The Definitive Guide" 2nd edition (pgs. 116-117), Eric

evidently dropped in CSS 2.1 due to browser non-support. I'm wondering
if there's some way I could still get a primitive version of this
functionality, because different fonts display at very different optical
sizes for the same nominal sizes.
For example, suppose I want type to display in...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
