Robert,
We run Arial 8pt for text display, but courier new 9pt for text boxes in VFP
Seems to blend together nicely.

If I were running POS or something similar where a broad range of untrained variable users are involved then 9pt Arial might be more justified for clarity. MS run 8pt in most of their dialogues.

Ms Sans Serif is not a true type font so should be avoided because it may cause problems when users fiddle with their screen/font settings.

>we have a commercial application in 16bit that we have converted in 32 bit. We received many calls and comments from our customer suggesting us to change the font Ms Sans Serif 8 to Arial 9. We are presently investigating the possibility to make the move and change the font to Arial 9.

>Personnaly, I am against it. Does anybody know any reason why we should or should not keep Ms Sans serif 8 except the fact that Ms Sans Serif 8 is the standard for windows application. I need articles, facts or anything in that sense to backup my opinion. In the past, does anybody add any bad experience with your choice of font? Is there any chance we can offend or loose some custumer with the Arial font?
