Is there a way I can make the system font bigger?

You can also tweak a couple registry settings. Just a sec... (fires up DEXplor and uses the new Registry Editor Search function in version 1.20 - hopefully to be released later today).

It is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SYSFNT
Edit the Ht value from -12 to a smaller value like -16.

I'm trying to get the font larger on the handheld.

[James S]

yes, so set that number LOWER. Kind of like fractions, you know how when the number on the bottom of a fraction gets bigger the number it represents gets smaller? Or like negative numbers, if you make the number bigger then it actually gets smaller.

NO kidding huh? Is that how fractions work?

pescadore, you can download truckloads of free registry editors for you pda, dan's referring to modding the registry on your pda. unless that was obvious, in which case, pardon my cluelessness

Thanks Johann. I've had this thing just a few hours now and I'm trying to find my way around.

actually you might fare better if you (shameless promotion) bought Dex-plore, which has integrated zip file stuff, a great file explorer (a thousand-fold better than the default "file explorer"), and a registry editor all in one. (/sp)

Thanks Johann, but DEXplor only supports Pocket PCs at this time. BTW, I just put version 1.20 online around 30 seconds ago. You heard it in this thread first!
