What is the difference between "Big Fonts" and "Small Fonts"?
Maybe this is the font size you are talking about but just to be sure. Both computers needs to have normal and not extra big font size under settings for the display . Also check the advanced settings and make sure that they are the same.
This is from the Siemens web site.
Configuration Notes:
The HMI software products WinCC, WinCC flexible and ProTool only support "Small Fonts" in the visualization. "Small Fonts" does
not stand for small fonts, but designates the character size of the font chosen.
Basically you can differentiate "Big Fonts" and "Small Fonts".
"Small Fonts" are the traditional screen fonts like "Roman" (ROMAN.FON), with 95 or 192 displayable characters. For multilingual projects that require "Small Fonts", you must therefore set the language-dependent font for each language. Originally only the first 128 characters could be used, because 7 bits were used for the character coding. Today 8 bits are used in most of these fonts, thus resulting in up to 256 characters.
"Big Fonts" are TrueType or OpenType fonts like "Times New Roman"(TIMES.TTF) with 65276 characters that provide a character set in which several languages are coded in one font. The TrueType fonts are usually downwards compatible and contain the first 128 characters from the traditional ASCII character set.

Important:
Some new fonts that fall under the category of "Small Fonts" are designated with .TTF. These appear as TrueType, but only contains the first 128 or 256 characters and are language-dependent. An example for this type of font is "ProTool European", that has been developed by SIEMENS AG for display on HMI panels.
Such fonts are best identified in the character table supplied with WINDOWS. For this the table should be set to "Extended view" as in Figs. 01 and 02 to see the actual size of the font.

The font is displayed as TrueType, but is in fact a "Small Font" as can be seen in the bottom line of the window. A two-digit hexadecimal code 0xDF is output for the coding. This means that characters of this font are coded with 8 bits, therefore maximum 256 characters as in the traditional ASCII code.
