The link was very useful and it was a dood suggestion, but the I-Mate doesn't use pixel doubling and works fine. I think I've got over the problem with the following code, which I thought I'd include here as it will end up in the message archives for anyone with a similar problem in future (I call it before drawing the text). Sub setfontsize for ccc=1 to 20 graph.fontsize=ccc if graph.textwidth("xxxxxxxx") > 45 then exit for end if next End Sub Best wishes, Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Katayama <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:bkatayama%40technobrains.com> > Sent: 28 September 2008 23:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:nsbasic-ce%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: [nsbasic-ce] Picturebox font size problem Here is some information on pixel doubling. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431747.aspx Hope this helps.

Therefore the text will be smaller on the HP HX2790 if the font size is hard coded and variable depending on screen resolution.

I have a non-commercial program and have tested it on a Toshiba g900 and an old imate jam. On both I get sensible text sizes using graph.fontsize=9 (and even without this setting). However, a user has used the program on a HP HX2790 and he gets very small text, maybe half the size, but in the correct position (i.e. not a resolution problem). Is anyone able to tell me how to get around this? Many thanks in advance. Andrew.
