I am using VFP3 under Win95. When the application user has "Use Large
Fonts" set in Windows, the application obeys and uses larger fonts than
the form was designed for. This throws the spacing off, sometimes by
quite a bit. Is there any way to detect this setting and turn it off or
detect it and adjust the form size? Or do I just have to live with the
ugly spacing when "Use Large Fonts" is in effect?

I'm not sure about this, but are you using the MS fonts (SansSerif etc.)?
If so, I would try switching to Arial/Courier New, and seeing if that
fixes your problem. I don't think it messes with the size for these other
fonts, but I could be wrong....
