It's like this... I am not at all impressed with
web enabled 4.5 forms. So far... We are developing web enabled
forms sitting in front of NT 4.0 machines, running Exceed as
and X-server on the NT 4.0 machines, looking into a Solaris box
where the developement occurs. We then view the web enabled
forms through netscape on the NT 4.0 machines served up from the
Solaris box. Problem is, the forms do not look at all like the
developed version in the layout editor.
Using "Align Objects" in the layout editor works perfect but
when viewed in Netscape the objects are anything but aligned.
Picking a font in the layout editor works great, but the fonts
are not at all the same size in Netscape. I have to purposely
design the form all "crazy looking" so that it shows up
in Netscape looking half decent. We have fooled around with a
font mapping file in Solaris trying to get the fonts to match up.
It so far has been a fruitless endeavor and a real pain
and is not working. So.. My question is, so I dont have to
work this way for the next 5 years, Has anyone had similar
problems in a similar environment and can this be fixed? Is there
a way to map the fonts, possibly in multiple places, so this all
works? Are we killing ourselves by developing across multiple platforms?
Is this simply a font mapping problem?
