SP2 and textbox font size changes on emulator

[Robert]

After installing SP2 on my emulator & PPC, some small
textbox's (to hold single number, font Tahoma 8.25F)no
longer show the text. Also, the font appears larger in
my DateTimePicker - it remains ok on the VS.NET designer -
could the SP2 be affecting the font size?

One of the bugs fixed in SP2 was incorrect mapping for Tahoma 8 points.
Previously, it would display as Arial 8 and will be not pretty. However the
change is positive - I'm not sure why you stopped seeing the text in the
textbox. Is this happening on both emulator and device?

It dissappered due to a very small textbox - the minor
change in font increased its size so it would display. I
solved the problem by reducing the font to 7, though its
dissappointing that there is a font mapping. Now that
SP2 has been recalled, I'll have to wait. How can I find
out where this mapping occurs. Thank you for you help.

You cannot affect the mapping process. You need either SP2 or something like
