Data Dictionary Display

[KMoody]

How do you change the Data Dictionary display from the first mode to the second (see pictures)? I think you have to use a startup parameter, but I can't remember what it is.

Are you asking how to change the font?

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Looks to me like in the first case you have the wrong fonts. Are you using something like -basekey ini -ininame <path to .ini file>?

If the dictionary looks like the first picture without any startup parameters, then maybe you should check startup.pf to see if it is invoking some .ini file.

As Rob suggests the first one may be using an ini file which has the wrong fonts. If so, check the two font settings in the ini file and they normally appear as such:

[Startup]
V6Display=no
;ImmediateDisplay=yes
;MultitaskingInterval=100
DefaultFont=MS Sans Serif, size=8
DefaultFixedFont=Courier New, size=8

If not using an ini file then it may be due to the Registry setting - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC\PROGRESS\11.7\Startup:
