I hope it's just me and I'm doing something wrong but... I can't seem to get
ARFonts to work properly, (touted as the method to be able to display fields
the same across multiple platforms/resolutions).

Problem #1. I size some fields the way I want, apply "ARFonts" to the form,
and some fields stretch themselves out to a size I don't want them to be.
Repeated attempts using different field/data widths equally fail.

Problem #2. I apply "ARFonts" to the form FIRST, -THEN- re-size the and
fields so everything looks nicey-nice. Save it, fine. Open up the client
under a different resolution and all is distorted.

;(
Ideas / Suggestions?

Looks okay on UNIX? Bad on some Windows?
Some MS Windows machines may be set for
large fonts, some for small.

Do you always use aradmin on UNIX or Windows?

Control Panel
Display
Settings
Advanced...
General
Font Size:
Small Fonts

I found that aruser must set fonts to my
development setting, exit aruser, then
restart it.

I still don't understand. Someone might.
I tell everyone using aruser under Windows
to use small fonts.

I'm with Tim. On Windows, at least, font display in ARUser only works
properly with the small fonts display setting. Printing forms in 4.x is
also a problem if you use ARFonts because this is a screen-only font.
Windows substitutes the Microsoft Sans Serif TTF font when printing.
