I think I replied regarding this some time ago. Maybe that's what you're talking about?
You should be able to search the font folder for the existence of this font (Microsoft Sans Serif) when the application opens. If not, substitute it with something else...like Tahoma. Here is the e-mail I sent then: _____________________________________________ It appears that "Window text" on Windows is MS Sans Serif and that the OS forces it to appear at 11 pt. or more. This is how it seems to me, anyway. Searching through my font folder, I also saw Microsoft Sans Serif. This font seems to look exactly the same and can be resized as you are trying to do. At least, I know it can be set in a static text box, whereas the font size for "System" cannot. There is also a "Small Fonts," but small fonts seemed to give the same results as using System in the IDE. So, if you set the font to Microsoft Sans Serif, you should be able to size the text as you like. NOTE 1: I tested this on WinXP, and have no idea if Microsoft Sans Serif is installed by default on XP boxes or that it exists on Win 98, 2000, ME, etc. NOTE 2: The text you display will ignore system theme settings. Actually, this might also be on the upside considering some of the themes that people come up with :) NOTE 3: You have to be careful when manually setting font sizes in the windows you display. Screen resolution settings can make smaller fonts difficult to read or even impossible to read. If possible, it might be better to make the main text bold and to leave normal the text you want to be smaller? _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
