Hi Paul, I changed it to 31 but I still get the same results. Would you happen to know what font is the default Python font? I can alway redownload the XP system fonts. There's one more thing I haven't tried and that's the Display Properties/Settings/Advanced the DPI settings. We have always had ours at 120 DPI as opposed to the normal 96 DPI but this has been the case for 10 years now and 4 pc's - could it be that? Thanks for your help in this!
