Momentarily the apps seems to start with a different font since there is a vertical scrollbar but then the application (in clipper) seems to resize the dos window to to the default size.

Further info... I have modified _default.pif in c:\winnt and it had no effect, but if I open up a dos window (without the app) it works fine and repects the font setting. Also if I then run the dos app from this command prompt it respects the new font setting. Still the shortcut on my desktop is using the old default.
