Changing the Font

Changing the Font

Why Trust Us

Question:
I can’t stand the “new” font used in VB5’s pulldown menus and forms (ie. File, View, Tools, etc.).I’ve tried and tried, but I can’t seem to change it.

Answer:
Unfortunately, there is no option to change the default font for the menus. It’s strange, since any other font change you make in the Control Panel isautomatically picked up by all the applications on your system. However,there is a bit of a kludgy solution: delete the fonts VB uses, which areTahoma and Tahoma Bold. It should revert to MS Sans Serif, the defaultfont.
