Hi Mike I'm using Windows Vista and just increased the font size I think by one maybe two available increment(s) to keep the text just about inside the available spaces, and switched to bold type. The font itself was not changed, at least deliberately.
I did not keep records of this unfortunately - I was more interested in trying out Echo mode at the time. The Vista is set to normal size display font also, not the larger option. 73 Charlie > What size font did you use and what OS are you on?
