well, it's the default font size of the working environment, i.e. the screen, the command window, prgs, and also the text in the table. thanks!

Well you want to change just about everything.
Make sure you have read write ability to your default FoxUser.dbf file where your config.fp points.
When you want a change a font, Make sure that window is active and go to the main menu. You may have to find it but, Under a menu option like Browse when you have a dbf open and in browse mode you would select browse from the menu and then select font. Change to what you want.
If you have a Command window or prg open you would select text and then select font and change as required.
Etc.

To add to what David has suggested, when you select the Command Window the Menu will show the Text pad. Choose Font..., and you can change the font, style and size here. Now if you hold down the shift key BEFORE you click on the Text pad, you'll get Screen Font..., so you can change it's font, style and size separately.

I have addition questions regarding setting the font size for:

The screen
within the file in browse or edit mode
within the command window

(for FP 2.6 running on PC Windows 98)

I have set the font size as described above but it does not set as a default, it only stays at those settings until the file is closed. Also, I do not know how to change the font size that shows up on the screen. And for all 3 of these, how can I get them to stay as the default all of the time?

Thanks very much in advance,

Best wishes

RE: Default Font Size

I appoligize if this post appears twice. My connection failed after posting it and I cannot seem to find it.

To add to the thread above,

how do I set the font size and style as a default for:

The disp screen
the command window
within dbf's in browse or edit mode?

When I have changed the fonts as described above in the browse mode they do not stay set, they only last during that session. Same with the command window. I do not even know how to change the screen fonts.

I would welcome any help. Thanks in advance.
