Hi!

I guess this is a limitation in VFP or so. At least in the MS Word I can use size "500" with no problem, but MS Word can have also its own way of text rendering.

Why not use just a stretched bitmap? Well, if you need to display any taxt this way, find a tools here to convert form to the bitmap. Than prepare such form with font size 127 hidden to user, copy its image to bitmap and use that bitmap to enlarge from font size 127 to larger sizes.

I'm sure you can try also API functions for drawing. You can open the device content for the VFP form and draw something on it using API functions. However, this require separate knowledge and reading a lot of manuals because a lot of API functions involved. In addition VFP is bad with API structures, and is not capable to work with pointers...

HTH.

>Is the maximum size of a True Type font 127? As part of our Splash screen, we tried to duplicate a Flash like exploding text string where a text string rapidly grows in size until it fills the screen. Based on our experience, there appears to be no way to display text in a font size greater than 127. Am I correct in this assumption or are there API workarounds to display text in a super large font size?
