WHAT!?

I think you are not understanding. And you are talking and passing judgment without understanding.
That's a bad thing. Usually from an inflated ego.

What are you talking about? Nothing is blowing! Everything works perfectly.
The value in your textbox is the same no matter what font you chose! Tahoma or Arial or Webdings, it does not matter. Same thing with when you change the PasswordChar.

I was just asking for a better looking font-passwordchar combination.
Understood?

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.
