Hi,

we have some trouble with fonts in our run time image. It appears to
be *not* one of the common DPI issues. I can change the DPI settings
but it doesn't help.
We have a problem with fonts disappearing in dialog windows. This happened
apparently already in the FBA progress window, later in our own software's
setup program and finally in the WinXP window which says something like
"waiting for settings to be changed" (I only know the german version, but
the windows appears for instance after the background color of the desktop
had been changed or after the DPI settings have been changed).

Any idea what might be causing this? We believe to have all needed fonts
installed (as required by the german mui component and some other too).

Thanks for any help
Ulf
 
Are you using any stock fonts. Does the application software use the WIn API
GetStockFont? I had a problem with fixed system font. The registry entries
for these fonts was missing. My application worked fine under XP Pro, but
not under XPe.

I can let you know what the registry entries are if this is the case.

That would be great, because I'm running out of ideas. I don't know if there
is a call to GetStockFont, though.

It may be that the problem is related to changing the images language. We
now build the image with german ressources. Nevertheless I believe it happened
also with our last english image.

Thank you,

Ulf

Well, I found your posts regarding this topic on Google. The registry entries
existed, but there were other files used: vgafixe.fon, for instance. After
replacing the entries by vgafix.fon a.s.o. I could read the dialog boxes,
although the fonts were too large.

What are these vgafixe, vgafixg, vgafixr a.s.o.? Which files do I actually
need?

Thanks for your hint!

"Fonts: vgafixe.fon", etc. from "Software : System : International :
Infrastructure; Software : System : Multimedia & Graphics : Infrastructure :
Fonts" category.

The files they bring are vgafixe.fon, etc. files (Fixedsys font).

For those who may run into similar problem I have posted a component .sld on
the www.xpefiles.com website. Add this to your configuration to correct the
font problem.

It is under the "Other" category. the file is called sysfonts.sld

Good luck
