I am having a problem with the Courier New font. 
I have some Text boxes which are set to that font and it will not display. I have a few other Text boxes set to same font and the font will display.
***The only difference is textbox where font won't display is set as NOT being in the Tab Order.  ***
  does any one else have this problem?

Martin Francom

No, after some more testing.
These affected text boxes will not display any font.  Even in the editor adding text in the property box does not show up in the TextBox in any font. 
I will try deleting those text boxes and adding them back to the form.

Rather wierd.

Marty,

did you check the Backcolor and Forecolor of the textboxes? If they are the same you won't see any text.

deleting and re-selecting the TextBox 's  solved the problem.

Rolf,
   No that wasn't the problem.   That's was one of the first things i thought to check.  But thanks for the suggestion.

Text boxes usually are by default in tab order, so deleting and re-adding would make them in the list again.  If you take off the TabStop style in the properties of the textbox does the problem come back?

Martin Francom

Roger,
    I think the problem may have been that I had selected a font point size that was higher than the height of the text box.

I can't see this as being a FF3 issue. The font is generated for all controls. Maybe setting the font too big (like Marty said) is the real issue.
