Fonts the wrong size on another computer

Post by RobKiwi »

I have just managed to transfer my compiled program to my wife's laptop, experimenting with packaging it.
On my wife's laptop all the fonts appear too large and overlap their spaces. They are Verdana, and the laptop certainly has that font. The program specifies for example "LoadFont(#Gadget_Form1_StartButton,"Verdana",14,256" and so on very fully for each gadget. What can be wrong I wonder?
Both computers use Win7.

One possibility is the windows option for "large fonts" where fonts appear at 125%.

That is exactly what it was, my wife suggested the solution! But thanks anyway. :lol:
