I've created a report using the report designer. I then commit the project to an SVN repository and open it again on a different machine.
The layout of the report ends up being completely schewed

This doesn't help. I can see that I can manually specify the unit in various property boxes. However there appears to be no way to set the default.
When I drag a label around the report surface its top and left properties are automatically set to pt values (I can tell by opening the file in XML view), the report designer UI does not even show or allow you to edit these properties. This means the layout will change if the default font size is increased.
The Reporting supports several different measure units that can be used with all elements in the Report Designer. You can read mode detailed information about the units of measure here in our online documentation: http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/reporting/2011.2/CLR4.0?page=Units of Measure.html
If you have any further question please do not hesitate to ask.
I've investigated this a little further,
The difference is that one machine has font size at 100% in display preferences and the other has 125% in display preferences.
Because the report designer seems to store positional elements in pts rather than pixels it completely screws the layout up. This may also affect the rendering of the report.
Can the designer be updated to allow you to choose pixels as the default layout option (with an option to convert existing reports from pt to pixels)
