I ran across an interesting display bug in all of the left panel views when I was fiddling with 120DPI. After I gave up on 120DPI and set everything back, I decided to change fonts to make things look a little better. So, I changed the Menu font to Tahop 9pt.
As we all know, the Menu font is also what Outlook uses to show it's expandable views in the left-hand pane. Interestingly enough, when I first bring up Outlook 2003, the fonts render what looks to be Tahoma 10pt, and then after it completely comes up, the fonts shrink. Then, after a period of use, the fonts grow back to 10 pt and are stuck there until you reboot, or manually change the Menu font back and forth (forcing a redraw).
I think Tahoma is a True Type font, so I thought all of the interpolative rendering was gone, but I guess not. Not like it's the end of the world, but it's mighty irritating when you're trying to set up that "perfect" view.
