>my new HP has by default 125% fontsize which is OK and fine, since 100% is soooo small, hardly to read. Now when I start FoxyPreviewer all fonts are on a 125% scale and what is even worse, reports are badly printed, they dont fit on the page (This seems to be a known bug) Easy to solve, change back to 100% and reports turn out correct.
>So I figured to change to font to 100 % beforre printing and change it back to 125% after printing.

Hi Koen.
This sounds like a problem someone had that I read about some time ago. They fixed it by setting their VFP app to be DPI aware.
I haven't tried it myself, but here is the quick note I made for myself if case I needed to look into it in the future.
If you try it let me know how it goes.

If someone has font scaling set to a non 100% value then the VFP report viewer will draw the reports scaled and they won't fit properly.
There are a number of ways around this -
1) Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in exe shortcut properties on Compatibility page

2) Add the follwing API call in your app as early as possible (before opening any forms or other displays) -

Try
   DECLARE INTEGER SetProcessDPIAware in WIN32API
   SetProcessDPIAware()
EndTry

3) Use a Manifest file when bulding the exe to declare that the app if DPI Aware.
If you copy the following XML into the project folder and name it "<Your Exe>.exe.manifest" when you build your exe it will be automatically included.
