This article was previously published under Q179914 SYMPTOMS
When an OEM Terminal font 6 point size is used as the screen font, large
amounts of text displayed in a list box change to a larger font size when a
system window such as Control Panel is opened on top of the FoxPro
application window. The 6 point font size returns when the system is
shutdown and restarted but the font size changes again as soon as a system
window is opened.
This behavior occurs when you are running FoxPro for Windows on a computer
with Windows 95. The problem does not occur in FoxPro under the Windows NT
operating system.
RESOLUTION
Do not use the Terminal font or any other screen font for text in a list
box. Either use a TrueType font or upgrade the operating system to Windows
NT.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
