Problem with 120 DPI & Fixed Dialogs


Hi all,

I am dealing with a serious problem with an application which
displays texts of all the labels perfectly under
the setting 96 DPI (from control panel) but doesn't displays labels
properly under 120 DPI setting.
I have a dialog in which I have docked some panels. Inside these
panels, i have added labels with some texts.
As the font size get increased under 120 DPI, the text gets overlapped
or not displayed properly.

I had a great serach on google groups but didn't get the expected
answer.

Thanks in advance,
Please help,

-Regards,
Dinesh
