Run into a minor problem that I'm not sure if I can fix easily.

Basically, I am using a form and printing characters at specific
locations on the form:

eg

form1.currentx = 10
form1.currenty = 10
form1.print "text"


This works perfectly fine 90% of the time. The problem occurs for
users who have changed the dpi settings, or turned on some of the ease
of access settings that make the fonts biggers, or raise the contrast
or whatever. As far as my program goes, the end result is the text no
longer appears where I want it to. The relative positions of the text
are ok, but the drawn graphics do not get

Is there some way to override these settings in your programs, and
force them to display in a constant font and size??
