Menu Font Size

[wbehning]

I have a strange issue with _msysmenu. I work about 50/50 from the office and at home. At both locations I am using the same manufacturer, model and size of monitor. I have both set to a resolution of 1280 x 1024. Here is my issue. At my home work station, _msysmenu is using a much larger font than compared to my office work station. Also, the custom menu designed for the application I'm working on has the same large font size. It is annoying because of the number of pads in the custom menu are causing the menu to switch to two lines at certain time. For instance, if I modify a report, the "Report" tab causes the menu to switch to two lines. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the difference is between the VFP environment that would cause this. I have seen the KB article on how to work around this, I tried it, bit it did not affect the menu, besdes according to the VFP help file:
"The FONT clause is ignored for menu titles added to the Visual FoxPro system menu _MSYSMENU."

Anyone have some Ideas?

The font of a menu is controlled by Windows display settings.

Is your 'small fonts' or 'large fonts' selection in your screen/display properties the same on both machines?

That's what I thougt of as well. But both are set the same. Also, other apps, such as Word, do not exibit this behaviour.

Display Settings on both work stations are: (Display Appearance Tab)

Windows and button: Windows Classic style
Color scheme: Windows Standard
Font size: Normal

While you monitor is the same, what about your video card (chip set)? Are they using the same video driver?
