Text On The Family Page Too Small, Or Changing The Font On The Family Page
"Bob", a Global Gazette reader and regular visitor to the Global Genealogy & History Shoppe, recently picked up his computer from the repair shop. Now the font size in the Family Tree Maker main entry screen (Family Page) is so small he can hardly read it. Here's what to do when the text on the main entry screen is too small or if you want to change the Family Page font. Answer:
You can try changing the font displayed on the family page. You may find this useful in troubleshooting a display problem on the family page. To change the font:
Press the down arrow at the end of the Run line and choose FTW.INI. Look in the [Options] section for a line that looks like: ;FamPagFont=Arial Bold Edit this line so it looks like: FamPagFont=Times New Roman making sure to remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line. From the File menu in Notepad, choose Exit and confirm that you wish to save the changes you have made. Exit and restart Family Tree Maker in order for this change to take effect. Using the same technique you can choose to use any font that you have installed as the font on the Family Page. You can see which fonts are installed in by choosing Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double click on the Fonts icon. The foregoing was provided by Paul Burchfield at FTM. Paul is the fellow who does such a terrific job describing how to use features in Family Tree Maker in the FTM video tape series. Rick Roberts
