Has anyone else experienced this?

If I have a capital "W" at the beginning of any field (text field or input field), the upper leftmost pixels are cut off when it is displayed in VDS.

It doesn't affect any other letters and is only in VDS. My default font is just arial (I think) and I have seen this problem on different computers running my program with different versions of windows.

For instance, in my program if the first letter you enter in an edit box is a "W", it cuts off part of it.

I have seen this before in VDS also, as well as other languages. Some
fonts (Not just Arial) are just like that. I just toss a space in before
the text.

Hi jwfv

I think this is due to some miscalculation? (? intentional to fit into the given space by windows) by a particualr Font author/Windows.
I have seen it affect other programming languages/windows -Word Pad etc when using small Font sizes. I don' t think anything to do with VDS.
The reason U may not be seeing the problem in other apps may be that they are using a bigger default font size - which incidentally is a solution to your problem.
