Fontmetric(6) does not work. Don't know if the registry search will work yet.


>>I designed a calendar form containing the monthview object included in vfp6. Everything works and looks fine. Later I encountered a user who is using Windows Large Fonts. The calendar looks like @#$%.

>>Does anyone know how to work around this? Maybe even a API call that will tell me that Large Fonts are being used and I can program around it?

>You might take a look at the FONTMETRIC(6) function - I haven't tried this (and I'm in the middle of instaling a stubborn AGP card, so -please- try this yourself!) but you could get the value for some known font under both large and small fonts, save the values, and then test at run time; if the large font value is returned, you'd do whatever you need to do with large fonts.

>I'm fairly certain that a registry value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Display\Settings or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Desktop\WindowMetrics also provides the information, but I'm not sure which, or which value is for large fonts.
