Winform problems - resizing and font sizes

I have written a rich client application in C# and everything seems to working great apart from one big problem: if you change the screen resolution or the font size multiplier it looks bad. We all use notebooks that have a very high resolution display which means that in order to be able to work for a long time with the notebook you have to use large fonts and some people use 120%, others 140% and some even don't use any multiplier at all. The trouble is that the application looks bad when some one uses a multiplier higher than the one I have used to develop the application.

How do I change my application so that it knows the resolution of the screen and the font multiplier where it is being displayed and then programatically resize the form so it looks great with all resolutions and font mulipliers ?

If someone knows an answer this would really solve a big headache for me.
