filepro 4.8 running on windows 7

[Richard Kreiss]

Tried Walter's suggestion.

Server 2008
Window 10 enterprise

FilePro 5.8

Font - Raster 10x18

Right clicked on shortcut and went to option tab. Unchecked Use legacy
console.

Alt-Enter did make the screen full size. However, it is really unusable as
the filePro menu is no longer displaying properly.

I changed the font to Lucida Console size 28 and had similar results except
the menu was more readable.

For a number of client's I have used the above setting as the default for
the filePro application.  This is especially true for those with bad to very
bad eyesight.

Walter I would like to know the setting being used.

PS: One place where font size is a problem is with the tablets.  I purchased
a Surface Pro 4 and filePro runs nicely as I can easily control the size of
the window.  However, I have has to make the home screen fonts larger to
make them easily readable.  The problem is when running other programs which
don't honor the percentage increase set.  I have this problem when I RDP
into a client's server.  The font size, other than FP, is too small.
