- I'm running OS/2 on a Tseng in 1024x768 mode, and labels of objects in the
- Workplace shell are often clipped at the end (e.g., 'Drive D' looks like
- 'Drive C' because the rightmost bit of 'D' gets clipped). I don't remember
- if this happened in VGA or not, but a simple workaround is this: add a space
- after the name of the object. For example, change 'Drive D' to 'Drive D '.
- This will make the fonts display correctly.
