Possible DPI problem

We have a program which runs fine on WinXP and earlier. When we run it on
WinXP embedded an area of the graphics does not scale properly. One hunch I
have is related to the monitor/display adapter which I componentized in CD.
I have the Dell M782p monitor and the Intel R 82845G Graphics Controller.
Both of which seem fine when viewed in the Display Properties dialog in Win
XP Embedded. However, on the General Tab that one gets to by pressing the
Advanced button on the Settings tab of the Display Properties, I notice that
the DPI setting is set the "Custom Setting" and cannot be changed (In Win XP
it is set to 96dpi and can be changed to 120, 75, and custom setting). I
have no idea if this has anything to do with my problem, but since it differs
between WinXp and WinXP embedded, I thought maybe I needed to install
something else. Any ideas?

hanleyh1,

Beside your display driver problems, have you checked the fonts included in your XPe image?
Particularly make sure that the following fonts are included in your image:
Fonts: Fonts Microsoft_San_Serif [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: serife_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: seriff_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: sserife_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: sseriff_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]


Also, you can use Brad's great FontTracker component from www.xpefiles.com to find out about missing fonts.

And, of course, I must mention here that similar issues have been discussed in this NG many times.
E.g., http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...a=group=microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded.*
 
Thanks. It appears that it was a font issue. I am grateful for your help
and the link to the other help site, which I will check first for any future
issues.
