 Text Box Fonts Change on Different PC's

I recently wrote a program using a Text Box for a client.  I set the font to
Courier because the text includes tables that require a fixed-spaced font.
When I installed the program on the client's machine and tested it, the text
in the box converted to a proportionally-spaced font, even though the
client's PC has Courier installed.  Can anyone tell me why my settings were
overridden?

Thanks.

Try using "Courier New" instead -- it is a TrueType Font (which ships with
Windows) so if it is not installed, Windows should will try an find the next
closest TT fixed pitch font, etc.

Hope this helps,

Doug.
