Vincent,

Outside of changing your Windows settings (ex: reduce your resolution), 
I don't know. I would appreciate an answer, too! <g>

Perhaps you could make a wish in dbase.wishlist.

Vincent,

I have received off-line an e-mail today from Bob Cheng. He sent me an 
answer to this. In the PLUS.INI file you can add something like this:

[DefaultFonts]
Application=Arial Narrow,12,Swiss
Controls=Arial,14,Swiss

In dBASE, you can use getFont() to choose your font and font size. The 
string it returns can be paste into the above. For example, in the 
Command Window type:

? getFont()

and copy the result it displays in the output pane to your .INI file.

application= is the setting which affects the size of the display of the 
Navigator and the Inspector.

controls= affects the default size and font type of controls while 
designing and when you browse a table.

When using controls= be warned this default will get streamed out with 
all your new controls. If you are using custom controls this is not a 
big problem. However, if you are using the stock controls on the Control 
Palette, this can lead to increased use of the GDI resources. As well, 
if you want your deployed program to display the forms as they were 
designed, then this setting must be in your deployed .INI file!

Many thanks to Bob Cheng for reminding us of how we can deal with this. 
I, for one, had forgotten all about it (I had seen it years ago now that 
I have looked at the news group archives). I am happy to have my 
Navigator display more readable.

:-)
