Thanks for the reply but yes I have tried both changing the minimum font size within Legacy and also had the "Stretch fonts" ticked. Someone has suggested using 2 monitors and using Legacy from the trouble free monitor. The whole (perhaps naive) point of the exercise was to have a bigger screen and hence larger and easier to read words. Hmmmm.

My minimum is set to 6 (the default I think) but I get much larger than that when I maximise my screen.

Didn't that work either? Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: Inta Warner Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 10:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Cant format font size I recently changed to a 23 in monitor. I have had 64bit Windows7 for quite a while and found no problem with changing to a font which was easily readable for old eyes. The monitor was supposed to help! Instead I cannot get any of the font sizes to change. Colours and font types are not a problem but the size can't seem to be changed much. I finally managed to get something vaguely readable but when the program was reopened next morning I was back to something resembling a size 8 font. I read in the archives that Legacy "doesn't like" custom settings for font size (set in Control Panel). I have mine set to the medium font size. I haven't had problems with any other programs yet.
