I have created a 4x7 table that looks fine, except that the font is too large. When I add the line:

DPLSetTableCellTextSize InstanceID, TableID, 1, 1, 4, 7, 8

to set the font size to 8pt, the contents are wiped from all the cells - except for the merged cells. The contents of the merged cells are correctly resized.

Any ideas what's going on?

After further investigation, the culprit appears to be SetTableRowHeight().

If I don't call this function, the text in the table is formatted perfectly, but the rows are too high for the text.
If I set the height of the rows to 4mm, all the text is wiped, except for merged cells.
If the height is 5mm, some of the text is wiped and some remains. There's no obvious difference between the text that is wiped and that that remains.
At 6mm, all of the text remains, but the rows are too high.
