Posts: 387                In our app there is a grid control.  We use the 
elastic window control to resize our window, but we were not resizing the fonts 
inside the grid control when someone maximizes the screen.

A customer has a larger LCD TV monitor and wanted the font sizes bigger so that 
they were more readable.... so now we are in the game of trying to set the font 
size.  We had it all set on resize and it looked great on ours, but at some 
lower resolutions the font is too big and the headers become unreadable.

ANy suggestions on how to handle this?

Posts: 387                The StyleGrid cells have a FontSize property but 
don't see a way to switch it to point instead of pixel.

I don't understand how that would help anyway? Finer control over font size???  
i.e. are points smaller than pixels
