issue-#136 Enlarge sizes of emebbeded views for About dialog

[Zinn]

The letter R in COMPONENT BUILDER is not displayed correctly in the About Blackbox dialog box.
It doesn't matter which build number I download. I always have the same result.

The problem exists in WIndows 10 because of scale factor. If you set scale factor to 100% there will not be any problem.
We can enlarge the embedded view size a bit for preventing this problem with scale factor.

Enlarge the view size doesn't solve the problem. I get the same result.

It works fine for me (Windows 7, build 694 - the stable build!).

"COMPONENT BUILDER" is the same width as "BlackBox", give or take a pixel. In the post above it is significantly wider.Odd!

Try this file. I enlarged all views it is made from.

Looks good now.

We should create a bug issue for this.

I would also like to make the About window selectable so one can copy and paste portions of it.

The new version in the zip file works well.

That is another questions (topic). It displays the about form in mask mode. Mask mode is defined as disable selections. StdCmds.OpenToolDialog opens the form in mask mode and you can't change the mode via Dev menu. Why?

Another question is how to open an open document again in a different mode?
There are 4 modes - 6 combinations - see one example in Docu/Tut-Tot.odc Figure 2-15

Do we understand what caused this problem? Is it linked to "Use true type metric"?
Should true type be the default (I always use it)? In fact, do we want (or need) the non true type option? Having this option only allows the possibility of writing Documents that are (slightly) incompatible from user A to user B; it confers no advantage that I am aware of.
