Hi, What I do is open a form on startup in a window outside etc screen boundary.
On that form I have one variable set to Automatic. In the On load method I call: <>WGD_o.Font:=New object <>WGD_o.Font.Name:=OBJECT Get font(*;"auto") In this particular example <>WGD_o is an application wide IP object that I use to stuff things in. I then have the name to be used for the system font available for calling thought the system.
