Check that you have the same fonts installed on both machines. Also check
whether the screen fonts have been 'smoothed' on both machines [Control Panel
-- Display] -- this makes a big diiference to the appearance of fonts on
screen.

Have you used the same SCreen View on both machines? {ie Print Layout etc..]

HOpe I've helped.
