I’m afraid there’s no method I know of that does this automatically
across a whole application. Generally it is preferable that the font
settings for MessageBox etc come from the user’s own desktop settings,
rather than being set by the application.

Thanks for the explanation,
at least I know that it isn’t possible.

Hi Alex,

my application is started from a dos-box. So, how can I change the
“deskop settings” in the dos-box?
(Changing the desktop settings for all applications is not possible!)
