[RBG7-L] - Re: List boxes and headings

[Javier Valencia]

Karen: Make sure that the Courier font is installed and working correctly in the computer in question; it is a long shot as it is a default font but there is always a chance that it was deleted or the font is corrupted in which case the list box would use a different font. I had to reinstall this font a while back in a client’s computer after the list box stopped lining up. Javier,   Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.

I had asked him to check whether the client had something like "large fonts" selected on the workstation, but never heard back. Good to hear this option will be on 7.5!   Not my client, though, so it's up to someone else to sell them on it! Karen Karen: To make it work, you need to use mono spaced fonts (such as Courier) with your LJS…statements, this way the width will always stay the same and not shrink like you get with proportional fonts.
