Large Fonts problem

Hi,

I have a problem regarding the Large fonts use for the apppliaction.
I have a VB.NET application whose UI I have designed with settings of
my computer having Small Fonts.

But as I have changed the settings my controls in the form got
disturbed.Some of them were not visible even though they were present.
Also the text for some of the command buttons was not properly getting
displayed.

How Am I able to solve this problem

Any Ideas are invitable.

I have a need to print very large font numbers on a card stock size of 5.5" x 8.5" in Access 97. The character count will not exceed 3 numbers across. So I'm assuming that a 3.5" to 4" height should work. Of course, 72pt fonts fall considerably short of this size. Can I use either Labels or Reports to do this? Any special setup requirements? I don't necessarily need to rotate the text. Can basic fonts be resized? I remember seeing...

The physical design of my forms changes - control sizes and distances, even where the center of the screen is supposed to be - when a user runs my DotNet applications on a Windows NT machine using large fonts. Is this a known problem with the Framework? Do they plan on fixing it? Of course, I expect the answer to be "no"... If there will be no fix, is there a good workaround? Bob

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). But this window will run on servers configured with large fonts. For a reason I cant explain, not only the font changes when settings the window on large font but all the widgets seem to be resized. This is kind of problematic because I have to redraw (resize) all the widgets...

Hi all, Hope someone is able to help. I notice when I design a basic HTML page, it is affected if a WinXP user has Large Fonts set in their Control Panel. However some pages, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/news are unaffected by this I think. They are definitely not affected by changing the font size within the browser. Because I want to add tables, which will word-wrap incorrectly if the font size is changed, how can I disable allowing the...

Winforms applications look allright on Windows XP when you turn on Extra Large Fonts. In Vista, if you turn on Extra Large fonts, winform applications look cartoony as if they've been stretched. In you check 'Use Windows XP scaling' in the Font Size dialog, winform applications go back to looking normal, but anything that has been explicitly set to be at pixel position, x, y is off. For instance, any dialog boxes that resize themselves...

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,...
