I'm talking about dpi-awareness, or rather the lack of it. The fact that 
your software does not declare itself to be dpi-aware results in fuzzy text 
on many machines. You can cure the fuzzy text problem by adding a dpi-aware 
section to your manifest, although the fact that your software is not 
actually fully dpi-aware would still leave you with another problem, which 
is that on some machines some of your windows can appear with some items 
(Command Buttons for example) being either partially or totally outside the 
confines of the window.
