Layouts Differences in OSX and XP

[weirdo]

I am hoping that some one can help.

We currently use FM 6 and it was all built and developed on Macs. As the business has grown we have started to get more PC's. As my Mac died it was replaced witha PC. However I now have major problems with Filemaker.

Functionality stil works however we have lots of layouts that are basically letters that we print off. If I amend any text on these layout the formating goes wrong for all the mac users.

Is there anyway around this and is it a known issue

Most likely this is the difference between fonts on Mac and Windows. The default on Mac is Helvetica, on Windows it's Arial. They are quite different.

The best way around is to use a font that is the same on both platforms. Verdana is good and there area few more that are very close, but few are exactly the same.

Incidentally the problem gets worse after FM8 when only TrueType fonts are supported in FM.
