By screen menu are you refering to the Message Editor? That's the dialog box that you type the messages into.
I mean the old screen menu in Auto desk that's typically docked on the right side of the screen
are you working in plain autocad? what release are you on?

The old Screen menu! Type options at the command prompt, go to the Display tab, click on the Display screen menu toggle.
I'm attaching a screen shot.

I know how to modify the size of the font by changing it in display properties. Right click on the desktop, Properties, Appearance tab, font size. I'll attach an image for that.(I'm still a little overzealous with my SnagIt program)Originally Posted by Wanderer
I'm not sure how to change the font style though.
I have monkeyed around with that and it didn't work.
I can turn the screen menu on. However, there's no text in the menu itself.
I found out that the Windows system font settings affect this menu for what ever reason.
Windows system font settings need to be set to the screen menu font style and size restrictions in order for the text to show up in the menu. I think.
I don't know how to set the system font settings for windows and I don't where to find the font restrictions for the menu. Can someone please help me?
are you using windows XP? or another version?Originally Posted by edward.kohles
