Ivan,
You can change the font of the browser - this will also be reflected in the layout window.
I think you can set the font thru the Set Window statement.
Otherwise I would recommend that you take a look at Crystal Report, that comes with MapInfo Professional.
That's a true report engine that let's you do a lot of stuff, that is impossible or at least very hard to do in an ordinary layout window.
