>>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....

But how can you test the way your screen are displayed on all user screens ;-)
You must force yourself to leave lot of space in each line, as uswr might have fat fonts...
