I am in the analysis phase of a conversion project that entails converting a very large accounting app written in Fox 2.6 to VFP 6.0. Since the app consists of 25+ modules we are looking at the fastest method to get into the VFP environment.

What we would like to do is compile the entire app in VFP 6.0, making minimal code changes, then start the phase one rewrite using the power of VFP. This would allow us to start our phase one rewrite in smaller segments, without breaking the entire app. The app would still be functional, although not very pretty.

That being said, the first compile attempt was somewhat successful. The only problem is that FoxFont can only size to 9 pitch. IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH. There lies my question. The only font that I have found to work in this scenario is FoxFont, since it continues to support the Line Draw capabilities that DOS supports. The problem is that it will only go to 9 pitch which is not large enough to fill a 800x600 display. Does anyone know of an alternative font that we can use?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not only on the above question, but on any assistance in converting to VFP from FoxPro 2.6.
