I am not using the emulator, I am using real devices, they do not work with your original QVGA values. I'm sorry but I thought that was obvious. An emulator is only as reliable as the real devices it claims to emulate. It clearly does not correspond to an XDA Stellar nor a Dell Axim 51 otherwise the values it gave you would work on those devices. These are not exactly rare devices. If it is relevant, the Dell is WM5 and the XDA is WM6. Both have .NET CF 2 and 3.5.

The really annoying part is that each device varies in different ways. Argh!

Is it really true that out of all the devices out there, I should have accidently acquired the only two that have variations? The chances of that happening are pretty remote, but not totally impossible.

So the question is, does anybody out there understand what causes these variations? (Which only seem to affect font sizes 6,7,8).

It also means that, thoughtful as MS have been to provide an emulator, if real devices do something different then it is giving a misleading impression of correctness. (Did I just say something nice about MS? I must be cracking up )

I haven't got the emulator, so I can't compare notes on that.

Anybody know anything about the 3D controls question?
