It has been a while since I have done it, so I don't remember exactly the Character cell width/height. First, change the coordinate system to Character (module->properties->coordinate Information->more). I believe8 X 23 will work.
Next, in the oracle.ini file set the variable: forms45_defaultfont="Courier New.11"

I believe courier new eleven point was the one we found converted best. This is not perfect since Oracle really does not handle Windows Fonts well, but it worked for us.
