I've found the real source of this problem. Operator error. Go to Setup>User Preferences> UI and remove any reference to any external font face and font size so that Allegro uses the defaults. Suddenly, everything looks much better.

The file dyn_xshape.form has field - INTSLIDEBAR 1 1 (width 1 for the character and width 1 for the arrow up/down button) so I changed and INTSLIDEBAR 2 1. And 'voila' (or wallah as some like to say), I can see the numbers!

They can be found in the 'share/pcb/text/forms directory'. I know this doesn't solve the root problem, but you can edit these form definitions yourself. I have edited the artwork control form in the past to allow for easier reading. I don't have 15.X (don't ask - it's a long story), so I can't tell you what this particular form is called. But I'm sure you could edit the size of the "Minumum/Maximum Connects" fields to make it longer. Make sure you make a backup of the form, because when you upgrade your Allegro, these forms get overwritten. Douglas G.
