Yes, there is a bug in the way windoz renders True Type Fonts. It dates way back to when Apple and Co developed truetype font standards. Basicly what happend is micro$oft developed there "own" standard, then when win3.11 came out they made there Fonts metrix compatible with the industry standard by supplying 2 sets of matrix. But all the windoz programmers just used the "microsoft recommended" matrix. Which of course are crapy. You have to make allowances in the size of the Field to accomidate the correct font matrix for the OS you are deploying on. Its a pain. Later versions of Solaris have "fixed" there Font rendering to be "compatible" with the windoz bug. But not sure about L. luck walmillard
