The field labels themselves are "scrunched up". The field themselves
have also all shifted to the left, so that the right side of the screen
is pretty empty (it's a form we run full-screen ... It's pretty busy).
In a couple of cases, the fields actually run up against long field
labels so the labels appear truncated. Text INSIDE the fields themselves
appear to be OK.
Our contractor hasn't gotten back to us with anything concrete yet, so I
think what I'm going to do is to put the Win2K Sans Serif font on the
2k3 box (it's still in testing mode, so if I break something I can
always roll back to a previous ghost) and see if that resolves the
problem. If so, I'll tell the developer that he needs to figure out how
to make this work with the 2k3 fonts. I'm not going to be worrying about
keeping the Win2K copy of this font around for every time I build a new
server!
