billroperApparently, if you are using Visual Studio 2010 and the Windows Forms Designer, you had better not have the sheer audacity to do so on a computer that has the default font size set to 120 DPI instead of the standard of 96 DPI. If you do, nothing that you code will actually work on any machine running at 96 DPI.
That's insane.
