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
