We had the same problem - you just can't get them to look the same but they can be made similiar enough to work with 1) Set the default font to
FORMS45_DEFAULT_FONT="Terminal.9.Plain.Medium" 2) Alter properties within the form

• form level, display, coordinate information, set to character and un-check default font scaling, character width 8, height 16 Good luck
