Discussion

Note :

The style of the calendar display can be Xdialog or HTML, formatted with any of the available cascading style sheets.

If you have changed the Xdialog system font setting from its default value, you should use HTML style display. To enable HTML style display, select View > Settings > System > Preferences > Calendar Popup. Select Style and a cascading style sheet from the Value list.

If you use the Xdialog style, you should have your Xdialog system font setting at its default value (Tahoma 8 point). To restore the default font setting select View > Settings > System > System Fonts > Restore Default. These settings also affect A5_GETDATEHTML() and UI_GET_DATE_CALENDAR().
