Thank you Christof.

>>In Corel Draw you can change text to curves which makes them smoothly scalable and independent of what fonts are installed. I would like to do same for my logo, which is text only, so far. How can I do it in VFP ?

In my structure class (it's here in the library) I've an example that displays rotated text, there also functions in the API that can render a font into a path that can be modified as you like. The problem is that you need the Paint event to paint these lines whenever Windows requests you to do so. The Paint event on the form, however, doesn't work reliable.
