In your startup program for VFP put the following code: _screen.fontname ='FoxFont'
That is a non proportional font. I wrote a little program that VFP calls when it starts (Tools-Options-File locations-Startup program), called 'arranque.prg' (meaning startup in Spanish) with code like this: _screen.caption ='VFP 9 SP1' _screen.BackColor=12058623 && soft yellow _screen.FontName="FoxFont" _screen.FontSize = 10 _screen.WindowState = 2 && maximized SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 SET TABLEVALIDATE TO 0 Set Safety Off Set Confirm Off Set Date BRITISH && in Argentina dates are day-month-year Set Century on set function F2 to "browse for 'grid'$class;" Set Function F5 to "on shutdown;quit;" The F2 command is used to see a grid's properties when I open a form with the use command: use myform.scx Then I can see the properties memo field and use that to configure the grid in the form. This program is called with this call: modify command home()+'\arranque.prg' And because it is a startup program, VFP sets itself to my liking as soon as it starts.
