On my Mac the text looks similar size as I would expect based on the Window Editor. But on a Windows machine the text is much bigger. It's to the point where my multiline label only shows three paragraphs when it should show four. Having a scrollbar is not an option. I wish there was a way for a label to resize itself to fit text, or for text to resize itself to fit a label. How do I fix this label? (And I need it done in hopefully within an hour for a client.) _________________ RealStudio user.

I would think the best option is under the Property List, what you can do is hardcode the TextFont, TextSize and TextUnit option for the Canvas so that they would use the same font properties between the platforms. Make sure you use a Font type which is common between the two platform so you do not need to distribute any font files with your app. _________________ RealStudio 2011R1 â¡ Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.6.6 http://www.batchimage.com http://www.completemagic.com Top Jym Post subject: Re: Text size different on Windows and Mac?Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:37 pm Joined: Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:19 pm Posts: 2304 Depends on if it "has to be" a label. Sounds like (because it's a couple paragraphs long) you might be better off using a read-only TextArea, then it does auto-scroll when needed. Otherwise you might be looking at a canvas and drawing the text yourself to use a scrollbar.
