>Hello All,
> I inherited responibility for a commercially distributed application written in FPW 2.6. I made a significant amount of changes to both screens and programs and sent out the new release last week.
> Two customers have complained that they are receiving a "Position off the screen" error message on two of the screens on which I had made changes. I sucessfully recreated their error by changing the Windows default font from Small to Large. Changing them back again from Large to small correctly displays the screen. Unfortunately, this was done through the control panel.
> How can I change the Windows defaults programatically at the initiation of the application, and then change them back again at the conclusion of processing - within FPW 2.6

> Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Large vs small fonts is only one of the problems. Make sure that you aren't using the MS Sans Serif font *ANYWHERE* in the application. Unfortunately, this is the default font...and as it turns out, the worst font you can use. The best choice is probably Arial because it looks alot like MS Sans Serif and ships with Windows, so users should have it installed. You also need to make sure the default screen font is set the same in both development and runtime. Put MODIFSY WINOW SCREEN FONT "font", size early in your program. Make sure it matches what you have set in development.
