Hi,
I am having a problem with Visual Basic 6 in that in various screens (Options, Project Options and "New Project" (to name a few)) it is using FixedSys font instead of what it would normally use (Tahoma or MS Sans Serif if I remember right?).
How would I go about correcting this? I am unable to see some of the options due to the large font size pushing a lot out of view on the Option screens, and these screens can't be resized either (unfortunately!).
Just to clarify though, this isn't a problem with any programs I have built, just with the VB6 application itself.
VB6 has already been updated to SP6.
Thanks.

Quick update - this appears to be a way of fixing this issue.
I recently reinstalled VB6 on a machine at work following a rebuild. I got the odd font appearing again in the Options screens etc.
I fixed it by going to c:\winnt\fonts and opening MS San Serif, viewing the font viewer window and closing it. Opened VB6 and all was fine.
I have since reinstalled another machine at work (again Windows NT 4.0) and had the same issue. The above procedure worked again.
