This is common to lots of programs and your right has been a problem for large fonts all along including 99SE. But there is a work around which I use and have used for a few years now, I have 2 1920x1200 displays. You clearly know better then Altium how to deal with this, maybe you should take a job with them as there skills must be very poor. > If that is so, then I wonder, with supposedly such great support from > Altium for the current products on their own forums (actual > engineers to > the company president monitoring and responding) what are > these people > doing on an outside 99SE forum seeking Altium support?

Well I'm here, and its because this list has users of all Altium products, I just help out others when I can, as the forums have helped me often over the last 15 years or so I've been using them.
