This has something to do with the new text rendering system in Vista. Is it absolutely necessary to have a tab, wouldn't a number of spaces be just as effective?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
The code <br />
<br />
messagedlg('a' + #9 + 'b', mtInformation, [mbOk], 0);<br />
<br />
places a tab space beween 'a' and 'b' when run on Windows XP, but not Vista.<br />
<br />
In Vista the 'a' and 'b' are side by side.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions on how to get the tab space working in Vista
