I have implemented a program to do a similar thing, during development I
ran into some problems which were solved by doing a DOEVENTS inside the
loop that changed the font. I don't know why this helped but you might try
that before you resort to what you suggested. BTW the program is not ready
for public release but when it is I plan to post it to the net.
