• Selecting Windows Font for the Font property for Draw Objects and Parts automatically disables these
properties:
- Style: The style set under Windows Font will be used.
- Magnification: The width by height magnification will be set to 1 x 1. Note, Magnification can be
selected on the Message Display, Message Switching Display, and Alarm List Display
parts, but will not be reflected on the actual text displayed. To use scrolling on these
parts, adjust the display area for text using the Magnification property.
• When the Place on the Top Layer check box on the Properties dialog box for parts with Windows fonts
set is selected, lines containing characters outside the part outline are not displayed.
