Thanks for the information Dragan, however, I hate to even consider setting the codepage for the OS to something other than the standard windows codepage for our customers. Could have many repercussions in their other apps. I was hoping to be able to change the codepage for _screen only in VFP, not the OS. Oh well, I'll have to keep looking for a similar font to foxfont that has a point size larger than 9...

>>Is there anyway to set the codepage for the screen display (not a form, dbf, etc), but the _screen itself? I want to test some different fonts that require a different codepage for code sent directly to the screen and not on a form.

Since ACP (ANSI CodePage) is too short for search, I was usually finding it by looking for key OEMCP, which is next to it (that's actually DOS codepage, 437 default - does this mean the OEM's are still not informed there's Windows now and DOS is zombie?).
