    Hallo all,

    Testing 1st message from Winpoint.

    Winpoint seems to be pretty good, but is there a way to adjust the font size for reading and writing?

    Looks good here.. :)

    It's been a long time since I used winpoint but I liked it. I'm not sure now about adjusting the font size but I hope you find a way to make it work for you.

    My pc screen (a Thinkpad T60) is 1400 x 1050. The default font size in Winpoint is a bit on the small side for that. The standard TimesRoman font looks rather thin too.

    However, with Fn+Spacebar, the Thinkpad allows for a much larger view, and Winpoint seems to cooperate with that quite nicely. But I am not sure if this is doable in the long run. It would also be nice to change the font to something other than fixed-spacing TimesRoman.

    And all the other template adjustments seem so overwhelming.

    I really enjoyed using Sempoint many years ago, but that was still in the early 2000's with dialup. This time 'round I was looking for a "complete" reader that can support tcp/ip directly.

    I found the setting. It's Extras/Options/Display. Duh!

    But the darn thing still prefers mono-spaced lettering in the editor (unless there is another trick for that.)

    Oh.. and greetings fellow Canadian. I am located in Ontario.

    What is it that you find so overwhelming, perhaps I can help?

    I just wasn't prepared to fiddle with the headers. Turns out that they're not all that bad to deal with aferall. I'll probably just minimize them or not use them at all.
