Userform TextBox Font size problem

I have a Userform with numerous textboxes on it (all the same size). When I set the Font size (Calibri 9 Regular) on all of them some appear (and actually are) larger than others (wider and taller). This happens regardless of setting their fonts each individually or all as a group. The properties show them as all the same but they are definitely not (the size difference exists in both the VBE and when the form is shown).
The difference is enough that the user would clearly notice & question.
Any advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
You're saying the height and width properties list? Have you tried forcing the heights and widths using VBA?

I have not tried VBA, just the properties window in the VBE.
I did forget to mention in the above that the textboxes are all in a "Frame" on the form and that they were all made from "copy/paste" of the first one I created (which displays as the correct size).

I will give VBA a try though.
Interestingly, I made a copy of all (at once) of the textboxes as I needed the same layout in another similar Frame. In the new Frame some textboxes pasted were also of different sizes (but fewer) BUT the mix of different sizes was different (ie which textboxes had the different sizes had changed).

Also have had this happen in the past without resolution (except, as I recall by deleting the bad textboxes and doing individual new ones .. but there were many in this Form).
