Bold Text size in windows XP is bigger

[wilburwu]

Hi,

I built an exe on a Windows 7 LabVIEW 2012, The display gives me no problem. As I try to install the exe application onto the XP, I see the font size is different from what it looks like on Windows7. I've set the font as "bolt". How can I define the font style as constant on every system?

There are several threads about this issue (e.g. here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Default-font-for-XP-or-7/m-p/2407480)

Either use specific fonts like Tahoma, Arial etc instead of system, application, dialog fonts or define the fonts in the application .ini file.

I've tried this one but it does not help.

It may change the font which is not specified as bolt, but the bolt letters are bigger than the ones in Windows 7.

You're using Large fonts or a different theme with other fonts on XP.

I check on several XPs. They all have the same appearance. 

Even as I use my Virtual Machine for a virgin XP...

So how can I check the Theme on XP?
