ppDBMemo fontsize

rbuser

Hi,

How come the fontsize of ppDBMemo components gets smaller on preview
compared to ppDBText components, though the fontsize of all ppDB components
are the same. Printout is fine again, fontsize are equal like they should.
Any workarround or explanition for this strange behavior ?

Thanks

ReportBuilder uses the Printer device context to perform all calculations
required to generate the report pages. This includes measuring text,
wrapping text, and calculating the vertical page space required by a
stretchable component such as a memo.

Using the Printer device context results in a very high degree of accuracy
when printing to the printer. For report Preview, all page elements must be
scaled back to the screen. A typical printer has a resolution of 600 pixels
per inch (or more). A typical screen has 96 pixels per inch. Thus there is
some loss of fidelity in rendering to the screen.

For multi-line text such as memos, ReportBuilder sometimes shrinks the font
size for the preview so that the rendered text can fit within the required
vertical page space. Even when True Type fonts this is sometimes necessary.
