Matthew,

Setting ParentFont to True on the main form does not work for me. It
still
doesn't pickup the system font.

In answer to your first question, the main form does not have a parent
form,
so setting ParentFont to True doesn't make a lot of sense. In my case,
setting this property doesn't do anything either.

I made a small test program that just printed the name of the font for
the main form. I ran that under 98 or NT4 and it showed a different
font than when run under XP.

I didn't change the system font on XP but I'll try that and let you know.


Well, it doesn't work for D5. I tried the same thing and setting ParentFont
of the main form had no effect.
