Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 98

Is there any way to change Addit! Pro's font?

Update Nov. 2006 Beginning with Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator X, the font may now be changed from within the Customize window. As a result, this Shortcut approach is no longer supported.

When you start Addit! Pro, pass the font name as a command line parameter.  Here's how:

1.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to your Addit! Pro program folder.
2.  Right-click on Additpro.exe and select Create Shortcut.
3.  Right-click on the shortcut to Additpro.exe and select Properties.
4.  On the Shortcut tab of the Properties window, make one change to the Target.  Add -fontname=tahoma after the text enclosed in quotes (don't forget the space just before -fontname):

1.  Click OK to save the change.
2.  Now launch Addit! Pro by double-clicking on the new shortcut.  The shortcut will pass the font name to the program and Addit! Pro will use the Tahoma font instead of the default Arial font, provided you have the Tahoma font in your Windows\Fonts folder.

Warning

This is an unsupported feature.  Not all fonts will display properly.  If you run into problems, simply delete the shortcut.
