control looks different in different language versions of OS

I have a form which has some textboxes, a richtext bxox and a few labels. 
It looks ok in my system which uses Win2K Eng. Version. 

But if I test my form in another system with Win2K Korean Version, the controls are not placed properly i.e. the locations are changed. I have tried with Locked property set to true, but no change. 

I'm not sure, but I think it is because of the different character sets it uses. B'coz, I have checked the display setting and they are the same.

Is there any way by which I can make sure that my controls location and look is the same in both the cases??? Is there any propery of something of that sort???

Have you done anything special for the localization with this form?  i.e.  Through the form's language property?

If this is not the case, what are the differences in locations?

I ran into a similar problem when developing an app on a machine that is set to Small Fonts (in windows) and running the app on a machine that is set to Large Fonts.  For this reason, I think your problem will be font related.  I am not sure how you would fix the problem with a specific font type not working, but one idea would be to set the "AutoScale" property on your form to "False".  Autoscale is supposedly how VB handles scaling your control sizes based on the size of the fonts you are using.  Another possible solution would be to modify the VB generated code where it is doing the scaling.  I forget the name of the property, but it is definately in the windows generated code.  Changing the size values of your Scaling properties may do funny things in your IDE, though.  I have had controls actually resize themselves in the IDE after I changed those properties.
