GUI problem w/Dialog boxes

I'm having GUI problems with dialog boxes displaying
correctly.
The information displayed in the Dialog is bigger than
the windows size, so not all information on the Dialog is
visible. Because the dialog box is not resizable I'm
unable to view all the information.

The applications display correctly on the full version of
XP Pro.
Any suggestions as to what might or could cause this?

You are probably missing the correct fonts (probably MS Sans Serif).

I built up an Image and included all the fonts. MS sans
Serif was included and it still has the same problem.

I've tried to make adjustments to the desktop settings
and nothing seems to fix it.

Have you tried Brad's Font-Tracker.zip component from www.xpefiles.com (Development Utilities/Main) ?

As silly as this sounds, try including the "International Control Panel"
component.

The "International Control Panel" didnt help.

I went ahead and tried the XPProemulation from xpefiles.
The problem is still present even with XPPROEmulation.

BJ,

Don't know if it can help you but have you seen the post from Georges Berenger yesterday ("Message box text do not display complete message." subject)?
He seems to struggle with the same problem as you do. He also mentioned the bug was going away for him when he turned off font antialiasing (though, he turned it on manually). He also mentioned the API call he used to turn it off:
::SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, FALSE, 0, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE | SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);

He may speak for himself here or you can find his post in google.

Was worth to mention,
KM

I think I figured it out.
It seams to be related to the Chinese fonts.

There is a key in the Registry
HKLM\system\CCS\control\FontAssoc

I renamed the key rebooted and then changed the name
back. After that everything works. I'm not sure what side
affects will occur but it seems to work.

Nope I was wrong in my previous post.
I finaly found the problem.

My build included two "MS sans serif" fonts
One with the file name sseriff.fon
the second sseriff.fon

The font I needed was "MS sans Serife" with the file name
sseriffe.fon

In order to correct the problem I had to remove both
sseriff.fon & sserife.fon and add sseriffe.fon

The font I needed is in the Repositories for XPE, but
there are no components that include the file, so I had
to manualy add the font.
