FONT SIZE within programs

Ollie · Post by **Ollie** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 9:49 am

I find that the default font of my programs (looks like 8 pnt) is too small.

How can I easily increase the font size globally across the program?

I use Peles C for Windows to design the screen layout - If I change the font there - it has not effect in my software.

I see I can:

DEFINE FONT fntArial NAME "Arial" SIZE 20, 20
DEFINE DIALOG Dlg_CLIENTS RESOURCE "CLIENTS" OF Win_CLIENTS ICON oIcon FONT fntArial

But how do I specify Arial 12 point? The width and height parameters make no sense.

Posting all by myself ! LOL

I haven't defined any fonts in my program, I am happy with the system default, but I just want it a bit bigger.

Any ideas on how I would do that?

Hello Olli,

just have a look at Vtools
There you can test fonts and can copy the font-result ( font-defines )
some more functions are included : color-tests, browser-tests.....
maybe it is useful for you.

Shouldn't it be 0, -12?
