"Upper" Info in GPS Still Does not display

[timoteo]

Another issue I've always had with V3 is that no matter what I choose, the GPS refuses to display any other info than the waypoint name.  I have tried everything.  Only thing I can think of is, the default font is too large to display the name and the requested info maybe?  But why does it insist on showing the name there then?  And can this be adjusted if is the case?

Thanks for any info,
Tim

Could you post a screenshot, so I can see what you mean?

Thanks.

Sure thing, here you go ...

As you can see it names the destination, but not the setting I chose (in this case "distance to").  I think there simply is not enough room.

Okay. I'll add it to the things to look at once I get a new PC up and running.

Great, thanks.  I'm actually surprised no one else had noticed and commented on it before. 

Well good luck with the new PC, and of course take your time.  Thanks again for this great program, Tim.

It's odd - just looking at your screenshot, it seems really obvious that the font is way too big. But like you say, nobody has brought it up till now.

If the money comes together, I hope to have the new PC by the end of April. Then there's the joy of installing everything! What fun, eh!

Hey, Tim ... yes, been there and no the fun of a) Getting the money together, and b) "Installing everything"  (The buildinging can be fun or "fun" too, just depending on how it goes.  My last build went pretty smoothly.)

Back  to the font ... is there a style-sheet type file where I could maybe alter the font size, perhaps?

[tim arnot]

I *think* the font might be specified in the config file, at least as far as family. It's a long time since I looked, and that still might not get propagated out to all the dialogs.
