Is there a way to enlarge the Font size in the Menu class? Using VO 2.8. What about other default font sizes? Everything defaults to 8-point.
I tried changing the following section in CAVOWED.INF but to no avail.
[StdProperties]
;**** Types
FONT=FONTSYSTEM8,FONTMODERN8,FONTMODERN10,FONTMODERN12,FONTSWISS8,FONTSWISS10,FONTSWISS12,FONTSWISS14,FONTSWISS18,FONTSWISS24,FONTROMAN8,FONTROMAN10,FONTROMAN12,FONTROMAN14,FONTROMAN18,FONTROMAN24
If there's no way in VO, can it be done in X# / XIDE ?

I am not sure which fonts you are referring to. VO for me is a distant memory. But I am assuming this question is a continuance of your questions in the "Beginners Example" where I made the assumption (perhaps wrongly) that you were referring to aspects of your own applications.
I will make those same assumptions here. If I am wrong don't bother to read further.
I know there is some confusion about Fonts. But a .Net program is inherently device-independent. Not only that it is indepenent of device configurations.
As I said before your .Net program locks itself into it's hardware host. To be more precise it locks itself into it's host. Either your own development machine or your users'.
Thus it locks into both the hardware and some software on the host.
That "software on the host" includes Fonts which must be there. Windows is distributed with a number of Standard Fonts which will be present on any Windows machine.
Problems come about when you distribute a program which require some non-standard font. If that font is not found then Windows itself makes some assumption as to what font to use. It has nothing to help in making that choice so it becomes a blind guess (at best some educated guess).
C# uses Unicode. It is members of the Unicode character set that are embodied in your program/application.
This is all part and parcel of ensuring total independence of your application from any user configurations.

Hi Joe,
in WPF you can do that, but AFAIK in Windows Forms it is not possible without an OwnerDraw menu (and with OwnerDraw it should also be possible in VO).
I'm not sure if that works with SEUIXP.
