Labels changing size/font size on different computers

A testing version of my application has been installed on several computers at the client's office. On some computers, some of the labels appear to have changed size and the text is wrapping to a second line making them hard to read. There is also a combobox at the right end of the toolbar. On two machines it is half off the screen. The form is maximized, all the control boxes are visible--it's like the toolbar just keeps going past the edge of the form.

I have compared display settings for font size and resolution and framework versions and also if service pack 2 is installed on the computers. I can't see any pattern for why some computers display the labels and forms correctly and others don't. If anybody has any ideas that would be great because I'm fresh out ;)
Thanks,
Elfreda

Although you say that the font sizes are the same, have you checked to see if Large Fonts have been enabled? The .NET Framework by default, autoscales the forms to match the current Font size.

You can disable it by using the AutoScale property in 1.0/1.1 or AutoScaleMode in 2.0.

I have tried changing font size for the various computers (Display Properties->Appearance->Font Size) Changing that doesn't make any difference. Autoscale was already set to false. I think that this must be a bug in VS2003. It definately seems to be related to the autoscale property but only on a few machines. I can't replicate the issue on the computers that don't have the problem.

Try seeing if Large Fonts are enabled:

1. Choose Start menu -> Control Panel -> Display
2. Select the Settings tab and click Advanced
3. Under Display, check if DPI Setting is set to something other than Normal size (96 DPI)

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem but mine is on the same computer. when migrating from VS 2003 to VS 2005, the labels and fonts changed size - some of the words on the labels were cut off and the font was changed from 8.5 to 9. Does anyone know of property that can easily be changed to prevent this as AutoScaleMode does not seem to change things?

thanks
