>I've discovered that if you use a "dingbat" font (e.g. Wingdings) as the primary font, you're likely to get response from enduser that would typically be represented in cartoon dialog bubble form with a "dingbat" font.

>>I could use a little advice on this one. I am updating a older VFP 7 app to VFP 9. I have been reviewing some info by Doug Hennig on Font selection for Windows 7, etc.
>>
>>Since we are now firmly in a Windows 7 and Windows 8 world, is it better to move to using Segoe UI (as Doug suggested), or has that now changed since Windows 8?
>>
>>I don't think Segoe UI is a truetype font, and that kind of bothers me. My concern is I don't want Microsoft to make a change to something that will knock all my forms out of allign.
>>
>>What if someone turns off cleartype?
>>
>>Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated....
