Fonts again

Thanks to those in the group who have helped in the past on this one. They
have got me about half way.

I'm using some TTF fonts in my application. I have created a component that
contains them and their associated registry entries. I have added this
component to my build. So I can see what's going on I've also added Regedit
and Control Panel.

The files are there, the registry entries are there with those from the
fonts that were automatically in the build. If I examine the fonts in
Control Panel they are all there and display correctly. However, they do not
display correctly in my application (as far as I can tell it is still doing
the same font substitution that it did before I added the fonts to the
build). If it makes any difference the application is in VB6.

Where do I go from here?

TIA

Simon,

I am having similar problem with my application. I have run it under XP Pro
and the fonts is correct. Under XPe it is not. I have added more fonts than
I see installed on the XP Pro system yet it does not get me where I need to
be. Such a small problem I believe is going to be drawn out til a solution
is found. I am going to watch this thread. If I find some thing I will post
it.

I hadn't looked at this issue for a while. I knew it was broke, asked the
question and worked on other things.

Yesterday I looked again - it is now working properly.

I've changed a whole load of things. The ones that I can see having any
potential bearing on the problem are

1. Ive changed from minlogon to winlogon.
2. The component that includes the fonts has changed (but only because it
was a convenient place to squirrel away some registry settings until I get
around to doing my custom shell)
3. The XPe volume of the HDD in my target has been re-formatted.

My 1st guess would be 1. (unless some-one can tell me they either have
additional fonts working under VB6 with minilogon, or some-one is using
winlogon and is still suffering). If this is the solution I don't know what
winlogon does differently.
