My fonts are truncated, help!

[Steven Hill]

I'm out of ideas.

I've had a problem ever since upgrading from Windows ME to Windows XP. My
database has reports that have overlapping fields, deliberately done so the
line spacing of reports can be nice and tight. Before my migration, the
reports printed fine. After the migration, the descenders (bottoms of the
letters g, y, p etc) are cut off by the overlapping field. I was thinking it
was a printer driver problem, but now I'm more convinced it's an Access
problem.

Here's an example (print preview at 400%, red dots show where descenders are
cut):

Yes, all field backgrounds are set to "transparent". Remember, this WORKS
properly on my old system without any modifications.

If anyone has ANY ideas, I'll try EVERYTHING. Please post. Thanks.

Check the default or stipulated font. Is it the same, and
the same size, as before the upgrade? Can you decrease the
font size? Truncation as shown is usually the owning text
box cutting off the text. Try going down a point or two.
Just guessing so I hope this helps.

Font is the same, size is the same. Decreasing the font size works, of
course, but my goal is to have as large-as-possible text and minimal white
space on the page, and decreasing the font size defeats that goal. Thanks
for the suggestion though.

Anyone else have any ideas?

HI:

Just increase the sizes of the text boxes if your fonts are truncated.
There's no other way.
