Application requires small fonts - not available
A customer has bought a gaming application that requires small fonts to be
enabled, and says to do this via the Control Panel. I know about the display settings fonts option, but in his current theme no small fonts are available. Are there any easy way to get round this? I've seen a number of registry editing suggestions, but not followed this route yet. Any ideas? |

The exact wording of the error message is that the application "requires your
System Font Size to be set to Small Fonts. Please Change this setting using the Control Panel, and then re-run the game." No, the game has a minimum system requirement of Windows 95/98. Which I suspected might be an issue .....

In Win9x/ME, the default was "small fonts." If the game will not accept 96 DPI then, yes, the game's installer is the problem. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows XP Shell/User |

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried most compatibility mode options, and
the same error message appears at all times. What I haven't done is actually test the game on a Win98 machine, which I will do.
