Hi, GWT can only do so much w/r/t/ these kinds of design issues. Do you use fixed font metrics (pt, px) or do you use %? The latter will handle different font sizes, but it does require that you avoid "complex" screen layouts. Getting font metrics isn't hard, but if you want to get "fancy" you have to be quite aware of widget layout.
It may also be that GWT is wrong tool to use, and you need more control over the display (i.e. Flash) On Dec 2, 6:17 am, mryilauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What am I doing wrong?
