MS Sans Serif Size 9

[jjwild]

My users want MS Sans Serif but font size 8 is too small and font size 10 is too big. Is it possible to somehow obtain this font in size 9?

Use Wordpad or Notepad to look at *.frm modules. MS Sans Serif size 8 and 9 produce 8.25 and Size 10 produces 9.75.

John-

Thanks for the data. I used an ASCII file editor and for a label set to MS Sans Serif 8 changed Size to 9. It continued to show as size 8 - it did not get bigger. Trebuchet allows a font size 9 and its Size is 9.

Do you know anything I can do so VB will recognize MS Sans Serif font size 9 as something between 8 and 10? Is there a font I can buy somewhere and install it into Windows and/or VB?

Thanks,

John Wildanger

No. It is not a "True Font" (resizable) so you can only use the sizes that are there. I told you about the Editor so you could see that size 8 for MS Sans Serif was 8.25 and size 9 was 9.75. VB will always select the "nearest" size to the one specified.
