Charles, you are correct in saying that the Accessibility API is designed to 
be used by assistive technologies such as screen readers and screen 
magnification software. I will need to upgrade my existing software to newer 
versions which claim to support Java GUIs by the sound of it which I 
probably should do anyway but they don't come cheep! I had just thought that 
for partially sighted types like myself I may be able to modify the standard 
GUIs in much the same way I change my Windows display scheme to suit my 
needs.

I had thought the layout manager may have compensated for font size changes 
in much the same way as a browser modifies my web pages (usually!) with my 
large font settings.  But as Dmitry said, this won't make any difference if 
developers use absolute positioning.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a layout manager which could override a 
developers suggested positioning and would handle form display like a 
browser? Not to say web based interfaces don't have accessibility issues 
either though!

Many thanks again for all your help.

Cheers
Ian
