The Microsoft Windows version 3.1 operating environment provides you with
TrueType scalable fonts that can be used in Microsoft Visual Basic for
Windows applications. Visual Basic for Windows supports TrueType fonts for
font sizes of 7 points or greater -- depending on the video driver
installed. Smaller fonts are mapped to available bitmap fonts, based on the
fonts available for the video driver installed.
CAUSE
This is not a problem with Visual Basic for Windows. This is how Windows
manages fonts. This is expected behavior in Windows when using TrueType
fonts that are less than 7 points in size.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. There is no way to force Visual Basic for
Windows to use TrueType fonts for font sizes less than 7 points.
