Form fonts change

[snkscore]

I have a situation where there is an access application that looks fine on most computers, but on my Win7 computer the font on the forms (buttons, checkboxes etc) looks like it's gone up 1 size. Things don't seem to fit right. Text starts to overflow.

I can't find anything to indicate what would cause this. I've tried looking for some kind of "Default font size" in access but haven't come across anything.

I verified that the OS was set to use regular 100% font size (not a larger size to help people with bad vision).

Does anyone have any idea why this would be?

what's your screen res? do you have pics of both for comparison?

The screen resolution is 1920x1080.

I'm attaching a shot of part of the form on the Win7 computer vs the same form on another computer as it should look. (the left side has a larger font than it should)

i'm not sure, sir. could it be the appearance settings of windows? the screen resolutions are the same on both machines then?

Resolutions are the same. I can't any setting in Win7 that would indicate I have my font size turned up. I found one screen in control panel that would allow me to increase the size of things to 125 or 150% but I'm already at "Smaller - 100%".

Sounds like this guy has the same problem:

it doesn't look like a bigger font. both the buttons and fonts look amplified. I can't think of any setting right now that would do it. sorry! if I think of something, I'll let you know

Just to clarify in case someone else comes across this. The buttons are exactly the same size (and they are the same pixel size as well in the attached picture). The drop shadow on the button looks a little different I think because I had RDP'ed into the XP machine to get that screen cap, but the buttons are still the same height/width on both. It's only the text that is larger (approx 15% larger based on my measurements).
