I don't believe in this kind of < frankly > stupidity; blowing functionality for a better look is something that should only be considered after a stable working application is in place. Unless you're willing to commit to the changes involved in switching fonts for the display, it's not worth it to me - I'd go to a non-native-VFP class solution if you need something like this; there are plenty of ActiveX components that would do what you want.
