>>>We had originally used MS Sans Serif for a project converted from DOS FoxPro around 2000. Three years ago when we updated the 300 screens to allow resizing we found that font would not scale worth a darn. We converted everything to Arial and are very happy with it. It works well in all sizes, is very standard and just plain looks good.

>>Arial is what I currenlty use, and it does look good. However, is another font would allow the forms to look a little more recent, this would be the time for me to easily make that change. Thanks for your thoughts.

>If you are looking for a more modern look then I would suggest looking at the current popular fonts used on the web such as Georgia, Palatino, Tahoma, Verdana etc. Keep in mind that form layout is just as important as the font. Again, look at some of the top sites such as auto and other major manufacturers who have the cash to hire the best designers. Also Google whatever industry you are targeting and look at the web sites of the majors for ideas. Although web sites are not data entry pages the basic layout and colors can give you ideas.

Tohoma would be very easy to use in my app, and is one I am looking at.
