Actually, I just did a little experimenting, and a textbox won't take a size smaller than 4. I think that's my problem.

Thanks,

>I don't think so....but changing the size can get tricky because of the difference between scalable and non. For example, with a scalable font you can directly apply a percentage adjustment to FontSize because a scalable font can handle virutally any reasonable value. But non-scalable fonts only come in certain sizes like 6,7,8,9 or so. In that case you'd have to apply the percentage to the FontSize and then to a "best fit" algorithm.

>>Yeah... I'm looking at the code, and I don't think it can get negative, since it's a percentage of the height. So it must be hitting some other limit. Does the control that the font is on impose some limit on fontsize?

>>>Yes, so you either have to trap the scalability with a flag (see source below) or look out for that -1 value in the first element of the AFONT() array.

>>>>>>Is there a way to find out what is the smallest size for a font? I've been experimenting with resizing, and if I make the form too small, the fontsize goes to an illegal value. I'd like to know what is the lowest allowed so I can put a check for it. I want this to work for every font, though, so unless they all have the same lowest value, I need some way to check based on the font.
