I'm sorry but MetaStock does not currently allow the font size in that window to be changed.

It's rather amazing to see how many dozens (if not hundreds) of these lame little limitations still exist in MetaStock, even after my upgrade to v11 (bought to fix some, but not all, of the stability problems with Windows 7) - I'm astounded at how Windows 3.1'ish this thing still is years after I bought v9.1 - virtually nothing of any consequence has improved over two major revision numbers, other than adding more Exploration columns and hooking in a lot of extraneous indicators and the "world famous" RMO black box that nobody else has ever heard of. Can't change fonts, can't resize many windows, are locked out of simple things like working with a chart opened as a result of an Exploration, or opening anything else, while the Exploration results window is still open .... etc. etc. etc. It's like the programmers still have never heard of independently-spawned child processes and windows. And don't get us started on the primitive limitations of the MS programming language and compatibility with display standards set by Windows Vista and 7. After all these years, how come MS is still such a creaky old dinosaur that hasn't caught up to the last 10 years of GUI evolution? From all appearances, Reuters is just milking this cow dry without providing any vet care or food.

It WOULD be nice if they'd fix some of the basics, like "Trendlines bug" that stay where you draw them, fixing the "Favorites bug", and a degree of consistency in the monthly Symbol Utility update.
FWIW, there wasn't much of consequence in the upgrade from 8.x to 9.x, either.

Spot on. The inability to manipulate a chart when you have the Exploration dialog open is absurd. Looks like the boffins at MS haven't heard of modeless windows. Besides the UI looks plain ugly. Despite all that, MS hardly has a learning curve. You are up and running in an hour's time. Unlike a few fancier looking competitors who have overdone the UI part to the extent that it is noisy and confusing.
