P9 Fonts in display...?

Howdy,

If I use proportional fonts in P9, I find it a (modest)
nuisance to see the characters "compressing" in memo fields
to the left of the cursor as I type.

So, I switched to a monospace font (Andale) for those
fields.

To my surprise, they display with the same problem (though
somewhat diminished.)

When I use Andale in MS Word, there is no display difficulty
whatever. I can hold down any key, and there is no "packing"
of the characters as the long string displays.

Might you know why this is happening in Paradox (and is
there anything I can do about it?)

Many thanks,

The problem is a bug that occurs whenever you set the zoom to "Best Fit"
(and possibly other settings as well -- don't know). You need to set all
your forms' zoom to 100%, and design them for the screen size you are
using.
