I wrote a script that executes a text box at logon and I
wanted to increase the size of the font of the text that
appears.

You have no control over the font used by MsgBox. You can automate an
instance of an InternetExpolrer.Application instance to show anything you
want. There are literally hundreds of examples of IE automation that have
been posted to the NGs (hardly a day goes by when one isn't)...

Here's just a small sampling courtesy of google ;-)...

This is all controlled by the user's display settings. (Like, in the
control panel.)

The title of the message box is the font size specified for "Active
Titlebar"
The font in the message is controlled by the "Messagebox" settings.

This is how it is in XP Pro, anyway.

Not a problem; it just makes things easier to follow for everyone.
