In Microsoft operating systems the user can set the default font size for controls, window titles, etc. According to the spec, an application should respond by querying the registry to get the current font metrics and adjust all controls to match the formatted width and height. If controls overlap as a result of this resizing, the window should be enlarged too accomodate them.
That's a lot of work, and for little benefit: by the time the controls are resized to accomodate the text and the window is resized to accomodate the controls, the result is not much different from simply lowering the resolution of the monitor. But here's the punchline: this setting is set in the Display control panel, which in XP ignores the font size settings altogether. ;) So my question for you folks is: Do any of you know if this is a bug in XP's Display control panel, or is Microsoft now telling us we can also ignore the Large Fonts setting? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
