Or just the way that it works, Klaus.

I believe tabStops are absolute positions: tabStop pixels from the 
left of the field or the last tabStop.  I have not tried this, but I 
believe you can obtain the same "out of sync"ness by radically 
changing the font size of the field's contents.

You need to account for your margins and font size if you want vGrids 
to change dynamically when margins &/or font size changes.
