Re: [LegacyUG] Font Sizes in Notes - too small
I had this problem of tiny fonts in note screens & found it is somehow tied to the Options>Customize>fonts> "stretch fonts when resizing" box. Experiment with un-checking this box, closing the Options screen - then go to any notes screen - click on Zoom & choose a nice size. Click Save. Close and then go back and recheck the "stretch fonts when resizing" box. You might need to close Legacy, then re-open in the above steps. I have also opened Legacy and found all fonts reset to the default fonts for no apparent reason. So far I don't have the foggiest notion of why this happens!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Font Sizes in Notes - too small
Dragging the general notes box does not make my font size get bigger. I have to click on "zoom" to do that. While leaving it on size 12 font and dragging the box, it gets completely illegibly tiny. If I select an overly large font from the zoom list, then go back to 12, then it appears as 12. This was an existing & previously reported problem.

Re: [LegacyUG] Font Sizes in Notes - too small
Dawn, I have just checked to see if this has been corrected in the new update but on mine it seems not..

I tried it, but still had the problem you describe when resizing the notes window. A temporary fix is to click on "zoom" and then adjust the point size to be larger. Mine claimed to be "12", but was more like about "8". After I set it to "18", then put it back to "12", it worked fine until I resized once more.

Dawn Customize - Fonts You can change the fonts used for screen forms and printed reports. Screen fonts are used on the screen to display labels, data, and notes. Report fonts are used for various sections of a generated report. To select a different font for use on the screen displays or on reports, click the Change button on the appropriate line and then select the new font by highlighting its name and clicking OK. You can also set the minimum and maximum font size to be used on the screen. As you stretch and reduce the size of various windows in Legacy, the font sizes are changed accordingly. If you shrink a window to a small size, the fonts may become unreadable. The minimum font size value stops this from happening. A minimum font size of 7 or 8 is usually a good setting.
