Re: Why not use form's ParentFont for Vista?

Michael,

I'm guessing - try changing system font when an application is running
or make it much larger then the application expects. It could (I'm not
sure) break form's layout.

It seem easier to just assign Form's font manually in FormCreate
and make sure you only assign font Name (not size) and only if
the name is one the few you tested your form with.

Thanks for the good point about only accepting a new font name but keeping the size the same. If the user changed to a larger than normal system font that would certainly be a problem with the way I'm using ParentFont true on the main form.
