Text displayed in a program change font size 1

[tlayrock]

I am working with Fox Pro 2.6 on a Win XP machine. When I run a progam the text that is displayed on the screen is really small and is in the top left hand corner. Is there a way I can get it centered in the screen and a larger font size?

Right mouse the blue bar on the top of the Foxpro screen and select Properties. Then you can set things up as you wish

This program runs in the main screen of Fox and does not have a properties option when I right click.

This program runs in the main screen of Fox

Hold down the SHIFT key then select Text from the main menu. You'll see that that Font... option becomes Screen Font... and you'll be able to chose a better font.

Something is different about this version I guess neither suggestion is available for me.

What version is it, Fox for DOS or for Windows?

If it's Windows, you can always tell it what font to use at run time using the FONT clause:

@ 1, 1 SAY "Whatever" FONT "Times New Roman", STYLE "BI"

To center it takes a little more work though:

@ 1, (WCOLS()/2)-(TXTWIDTH(ALLTRIM("Whatever"), 'Times New Roman', 12)/2);
   SAY ALLTRIM("Whatever") ;
   FONT "Times New Roman", 12
