Distorted booleans buttons

Hello:
Historically I am developing my Labview code using 800x600 resolution. Now part of my new runtime apps must run on 1024x768 or even 1600x1200 resolution screens. Sadly enough I realized that my Labview 6.1 application could not adapt its front panel accrording to the resolution chosen by the end-user. I am using the 2 options in VI properties:Windows Size called size to FP and rescale objects. Because it leaves untouched the font i tried to find a way to change the application font programmatically but did not find any. Then I realized that the booleans buttons got distorted when switching to a higher resolution. In the attached example if you open and run the VI in a 800x600 resolution and with a app font of 12 everything seems o
k. Now quit the VI, change in Labview.ini the app font to 24 and switch the monitor resolution to 1600x1200, open and run the VI... What a sloppy display. Can anyone help on that? Is that a bug in LV?
TIA for your precious help,
Chris

Text sizes are fixed. So, if you change the default text size, the controls will resize to accept the new text, but they will not reposition themselves to keep from overlapping.
