Cell grid_desktop control font

why the font does not change accordingly when i changed the font in the gridDesktop Property in the studio designer?

it always use Arial size 8 in the run time no matter what i have selected in the designer.

i believe it always use Arial Size 10, not 8. this is so weird.

Thanks for using Aspose APIs.

Please download and use the latest version of GridDesktop because it is working fine. It should fix your issue. Let us know your feedback.

Please see the following screenshot. It shows that, setting the font size with designer works fine.

No, the fix does NOT work.

in your screenshot, it did change when you selected a different font size.

But I meant the font setting in the design studio, not in the run time.

Basically i need to set the font size for customer when the form shows up, not by customer in the run time. I have tried to set the font size using code in the form load event, but it looks like it also changed cell style (for example, alignment, etc.) which was not what i want. (because I just want to change the font size, that is all)
