Just a wild guess here, but is it possible that it's the encoding?  Check
what encoding the browser uses, I believe the default one changed from CF5
to CFMX...

Subject: Font in list boxes, text boxes and buttons behaves differently in
..cfm between CF5 and CFMX . . .

Ok, this is weird.

We're migrating our site from CF5 on Windows 2000 to CFMX 6.1 on Windows
2000. Our standard browser is MSIE 6.0. The two servers are
hardware/software clones of each other except for CF5 vs CFMX.

When I toggle back and forth between the same .cfm page(s) in the two
different environments everything looks identical except that the font-face
and font-size in all dropdown list boxes and text boxes and on all buttons
is different between CF5 and CFMX. This makes the list boxes, text boxes and
buttons grow and shrink as I toggle back and forth between the two
environments, even when there is no text in the list boxes and text boxes.
This behavior is uniform throughout the site when I compare pages between
the two environments - it affects all list boxes, text boxes and buttons.

Also, when I try to change the font for the list boxes, text boxes and
buttons in the various stylesheets on the CFMX server it appears to have no
affect.

I created a simple html page with three sets of dropdown list box and button
pairs and uploaded a copy to the CF5 and the CFMX servers. On the CF5 server
the font stays the same whether the file is .htm or .cfm. On the CFMX server
the font is the same as on the CF5 server when it's a .htm file but the font
changes when the file is a .cfm file. So the font stays the same on CF5 as
...htm/.cfm and on CFMX as .htm but the font changes on CFMX when it's in a
...cfm file.

Any ideas what might be going on here?

The only difference I can think of is that on the CF5 server
/inetpub/wwwroot is on d: and on the CFMX server it's on e: . . . :|

Thanks!

George
