I have a minor, but annoying problem. I've recently done some UI work and I used a font other than "application" font. Now, anything I do defaults back to that font. No matter how many times I change the font back to "application" font, it defaults back to the font I used that one time.
How do I get the font to default to "application" font? It seems like labview always reverts to "current" font which for some reason is stuck on that font I used.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Then restart LabVIEW to get the ini file uncorrupted.
EDIT: And JB's advice too. I forgot about those!

You can also edit below keys of LabVIEW.ini :
appFont --> application
FPFont --> front panel
BDFont --> block diagram
The format is "Name" Size. For example :
FPFont="Tahoma" 13

Thanks guys. I tried Jeff's suggestion first and that seemed to do the trick.

I have a question on this similar topic. I have a build that the font size get's large when I put it on the end system. Both OS are Win7, I have the default for the app, diag, and system fonts check. Also, I defined in the .ini file that font and size I wanted. Any ideas? I'm using 13pt MS Sans Serif font.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

The Windows scaling affects the font. If you don't use AppFont, but set the text to Segoe UI 15 i think it's fixed.

Also, I'm running LV 2012sp1.
So, when you use appfont and select "Use default" is it using the computers default or what's in the .ini file?
