Hi Bela,

The Windows fonts definitions are stored in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\desktop\WindowMetrics key. It's stored as binary data, so you'll have to translate it. Byte 0 is the font size, bytes 8 and 9 the style. The font name begins at byte 18. All told, there are 50 bytes associated with this information. You can use the registry class that comes with VFP 5 is retrieve this information.

HTH,

George
