How to change "menu bar" font?
When I change fonts in my WinXP, all programs change fonts in their MENU BARS (File, Edit, View..., Help), only PDF-XChange Viewer shows smaller fonts (look like those fonts can not be changed).

Re: How to change "menu bar" font?
I have run into this problem with other applications too. PDF-XChange is not the worst, but the fonts are too small for me.
Apparently Windows Vista or Win 7 users do not have the same problem.
I believe that it depends on the development tools used to create the software, and may not be easy to fix.
Edit: The developer of the other application found a fix. The problem arose after migrating his software to Delphi 2010 due to a bug in an old component. This can be a deal-breaker for short-sighted users. The menus are vital for using a program, and they should respect the Windows system font settings. I can manage with PDF-XChange because I don't need to use the menus much, and the font is just about legible. Mostly I just read the document text at fit to width > 100% In other apps one may need to use the menus very frequently.

That is great news!Vasyl-Tracker Dev Team wrote:The "Customize UI-Fonts" feature will be added in the new version V3
But why don't you just use Windows settings for GUI? Isn't that easier to make?

Hey ZoNi,
At the time of the initial design of version two of our Viewer the things were different and it was created in a slightly different way.
Now the things are quite changed for ver3 and it will be much more customizable both from inside the Viewer and taking into account the changes to the UI you have made in Windows. Both techniques are needed as we need more than what the Windows GUI changes can offer
Best,
Stefan

Please try the latest build of the viewer (build 2.0.50) - it uses the default system font for the menu, and most of the text etc ...
