	Hi Gurus,

	I have this app in which some text is positioned and printed
	in a window using the TextOut function.  Mapping mode is the
	default MM_TEXT. In normal VGA mode, it
	works flawlessly. BUT, when I switch to SuperVGA with LARGE fonts,
	the text are wrongly positioned ! However, SuperVGA with SMALL fonts
	presents no such problem. 

	I'm really puzzled at this. Does the way Windows handles coordinates
	differ with different font sizes ? I've always thought that TextOut
	uses the logical coordinates, and therefore, Windows should be able
	to take care of any differences. Apparently I was mistaken.

	Any advice/tips/help would be greatly appreciated.
	Thanx. 

	BTW, I've tried this out on a Paradise SuperVGA and a Taiwanese
	Tseng Labs SuperVGA card, installed the 800x600 large font drivers,
	and both had the same problem.
