>Is there anyway to set the codepage for _screen? I need to send text and lines to the screen itself, not a form, etc. I've actually tried some custom fonts from companies that work if I send it to a text file or enclose the characters in TEXT...ENDTEXT and send it to the screen, but not just with the activate screen and @...SAY which is what I need to do (just like the old FPD26 code). Foxfont is the only font that appears to draw correctly to _screen but it only goes to a point 9...
_SCREEN is a form, so you should have access to the full set of font properties for a Form; I have 0 experience in using the linedrawing character set and @ ... SAY under VFP7. I'd suggest you try digging around for a monospaced font that maps the high ASCII character set in the same fashion as FoxFont; the Character Viewer applet in the Accessories/System Tools Start Menu entry is a big help with this.
Have you thought in terms of replacing your linedrawing stuff with shape and line objects?

>I just tried Lucinda, but the lines are adjusted up and intersections don't line up like they do with the foxfont font. Most of the fonts do that as a matter of fact! So far, foxfont is the only one to work, but the point size is too small...

>>>Any font out there that works just like foxfont only at 12-14cpi? Doubling foxfont is too large, but I need to use the foxfont in a larger size and it is only available up to 9. This is for information set directly to the screen and NOT a form, etc. I need foxfont larger than 9... Needs to work with line draw just like foxfont...
