Everybody,

This is an old VFP 3.0 bug that comes from having too many fonts in your font directory. There is a freeware patch that can be run in a program whenever you need to change fonts on a property that will work around this problem. The code is:

=ASELOBJ(tarray)
getfont_result = getfont()
tarray(1).FontName = LEFT(getfont_result,AT(",",getfont_result) - 1)


Save this in a file called "formfont.prg" and run it when you need to change a font property.

HTH,

Bill
