I've seen this topic discussed here before - but can't find it now so I'll
start a new thread. The problem is (at least) that Labels, Textboxes,
Buttons, etc. which are given the Tahoma font in size 7.8pt (you click on
8pt in the menu) show up on the emulator displaced and in a smaller, almost
unreadable fontsize. Additionally, the control box size for all font sizes
seems too small - that is, words that are cutoff in the design screen fit
fine on the emulator.
I seem to have found a solution. My Windows Screen settings were set to
"large fonts" ie. 120dpi. If I change the Windows Screen setting to "normal
fonts" ie 96dpi, the whole problem seems to go away. Now, when you select
8pt fonts from the menu you actually get 8.25pt in the Properties Box and
that is what shows up on the emulator screen and everything fits like it is
supposed to.
Conclusion: there's a font size bug in CF dotNet. Whether it's in the
design screen or the emulator I can't tell yet.
