Font size rendering on different machines

Hi all,

I have a web app which uses the DrawString method in the Graphics
class to create a PNG graphic with text on it. The problem I'm having
is with the font sizing/spacing. For example, on my local machine, I
could fit 50 characters a rectangle of x inch. But when I deploy it
to the server, it fits 60 characters on that rectangle. The screen
resolution for both my local machine and the server is set to
1600x1200. Help!

The PNG created on the server should be of a specific pixel resolution and
dimension. The client machines must be displaying things differently,
possibly due to a non plug-and-play monitor being used on one or other
client.

Force the server to create an image of a specific size and resolution. See
the GDI+ FAQ for details on how to create images with a specific resolution.

Are you referring to the BitMap.SetResolution method? Thanks again in advance :-)
