Hi all,
Recently installed VFP 9, SP2 on a new laptop.
When I run VFP and open a project, the text for the project tabs (all, data, document.) are quite large. This is also true of the tabs and column data (both titles - name, type, width. and data - field name, character, .)
For the life of me, I can't figure out where it found the font. I checked options, the registry entry, etc. but can't find anything that seems out of place.
It sort of looks like the "expanded" font on old Epson printers.
The VFP menu is fine as is the data in the properties windows (although the tabs are screwed up). The command window and text going to the screen all appears as expected.
The problem is that VFP doesn't account for the size of this weird font and many labels now overwrite each other or are hidden by the respective data entry textbox, etc.
Any idea what is farkled up and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Fletcher

Did you try turning off your resource file?
The font for the projects form is in Tools->Options->IDE.

Alan, But the only place I seem to have this problem is with vfp. Fletcher Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

That's only for the treeviews - all the form title bars are controlled by the Windows font settings.
Fletcher,
There's a setting for the project font in the options dialog. Look for where to set the font for programs and memo fields, etc. I think it's the last setting on the dropdown (from memory, I don't have VFP open at the moment...)

Bill, I tried that. it doesn't apply to the tabs, only the text used for shoeing the contents for each tab. Later today, I will post some examples (assume Ed let's us include images) Fletcher

Alan, Bill, Richard, et. al.,
Ok, I have attached a screen shot. This should make it clear where I am having the problem.
All the ideas you mentioned work quite well for changing what they are supposed to change - but none of those have any effect on the fonts that are showing incorrectly.
If you are here in the states, have a Happy Thanksgiving, otherwise, have a happy rest of the week.... :)

Nope. No attachments allowed on the list. Try posting to your favorite image host (imgur, flickr, etc.) and send along a link.
Happy Thanksgiving!
