Also, stick with native Windows fonts like Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Trebuchet, and Georgia. With one of those fonts and the 16-level aa on, you can go as low as 7pt font size on those old dogs and it's still very legible.

There is a setting in console to turn on 16-level anti-aliasing rather than 4-level which is the default. This will make a world of difference with the fonts. I'm assuming you're using Synapse, if not, this setting won't change a thing.

It's also worth trying Tahoma -- a font that seems to have been designed in part to cope with the limitations of early LCDs

It is an STX-1700, it will look crappy no matter what font you use.
You can't compare it to clarity of modern panels or IPADs, will never come close.
Have to do quite a few upgrades with them UGH recently.
Arial Bold seems to be about the best you can do.

I'm lucky enough to have to work on one of these old panels and having trouble getting any of the fonts to look even halfway good. Can anyone pass along some tips for working with these devices in the latest VTPRO software?
Setting x2 in the view helps, but it's still hard to layout that way. I've been using just Arial text with the font even set below the choices and still looks crappy.
