Windows Forms have layout problem with large fonts

[Edward Yang]

This problem started from the very beginning - when .NET Framework 1.0
is released.

I have forms designed and tested on a Windows 2000 Pro system with large
fonts (125%). They all look good until I run the exactly the same
assembly on another system with normal fonts. The layout is messed up,
especially those controls with the Anchor property set (other than the
default values).

I had expected Framework 2.0 would have solved this problem. But it had
not - at least with the beta 1 release it had not do it.

I am not sure if I am making my problem clear. Hope one of Microsoft
guys can hear me and understand my problem.

I had a related problem: When I installed my application on a pc with Large
fonts it totally messed up: the Controls and Text were bigger and didn't fit
anymore in the Windowd etc, ...

I don't knwo if there is any solution for it, I just told the user to buy a
glasses and putted it to normal fonts...

What's the value of the form's 'AutoScale' property?
