SYMPTOMS

Borland's ObjectVision version 2.0 prints TrueType font characters 1 to 2 points smaller than the same characters printed from Write. For example, the 14-point Arial from ObjectVision approximates 12-point Arial from Write.)

CAUSE

This is due to the way that ObjectVision 2.0 requests fonts from Microsoft Windows.

WORKAROUND

According to Borland technical support, you can work around this problem by commenting out the following lines in the [FontSubstitutes] section of the WIN.INI file:

   Helv=Ms Sans Serif
   Helvetica=Arial
