This morning I was changing the font size and it didn't seem to be "sticking" but that's righted itself now!

The font is fine on all screens except when first going into Birth Notes, Baptism Notes, Death Notes, Burial Notes and Marriage Notes. All of these screens open to full size. > > Now, as you stretch and reduce the size of various windows in Legacy, > the font sizes are changed accordingly.

It then remains about that size (possibly fractionally bigger) when I maximise the window again. If I close and re-open the full-screen window the tiny font is replaced by the full-size version and sticks that way. Restoring and maximising the window is slightly less inconvenient that closing it and opening it again but I would rather the font appeared the right size in the first place! It does with General, Research and Medical Notes. > > Monitor settings can also make a difference.

I certainly don't want all my screen fonts any bigger. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
