Unfortunately, the link did not solve my problem. I have searched all the
newsgroups and have been unable to find an acceptable solution. The problem
appears to occur both in Excel and PowerPoint. I do have a widescreen laptop
monitor, and simultaneously drive an 4:3 external monitor. I constantly have
problems with charts, especially the y-axis labels, but also problems where
entire chart windows will change when the screen resolution is altered.
(This happens with some regularity as I give PowerPoint presentations at
dozens of locations, and occasionally the laptop screen will try to resize to
be compatible with the projector) It apparently can cause font substition
and other issues. I've tried using othe fonts, both true- and non true-type.
Appending several spaces and a period (with the same font color as the
background) does solve some problems with the y-axis, but not all. It seems
this is a very prevalent problem with monitors that are not 4:3 proportions.
Is there a fix on the horizon?
