PixelsPerInch is the Form property to check. This will be 90 or 120, for example.
I can't really help I don't think. I had many problems with just normal form scaling at different DPI settings and I eventually took a recommendation to do all development at 120 DPI. Then everything scales down to 90 DPI fine. In reverse you can end up with controls overlapping and things like that.

Background: I have some forms I resize according to users screen resolution, and also settable options which font sizes are to be used in grids, and also default row height. Both specified in points. Behaves nicely on most screens -Except- Where screen has been set to use large fonts, eg 120DPI, eg Windows 98 with a large resolution LCD screen. The fonts I have set in the grid then become enormous, nothing like 8 pt which is the default and unreadable. So how do I detect the DPI setting, what does it mean for my app, and how do I adjust the font size.....I am able to do that, but unsure what to adjust. Any advice or web sites?
