Help XP embedded font issue?

[Guest]

I am having an issue with the text the displays in an application on windows
xp embedded. It is different than what shows on a regular XP pro machine. I
need a fixed width font for my application to display correctly and XP
embedded is not using one. I have tried loading all of the fonts from my XP
pro machine on xp embedded with no luck. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

T.J.

This issue was discussed in this newsgroups several times.
Here the short solution:

go to www.xpefiles.com and download the font-tracker
component and include it into your image.

This should work.

As mentioned this has been addressed many times and the causes various for
different images. There is an issue with SP1 and the Sysfonts component on
xpefiles resolves it. This may also eliminate your problem.

This compment fixes a problem in XPe SP1 when using system fonts vgafix,
vgasys, and vgaoem. There are registry entries missing from the components
provided by Microsoft in order for these fonts to be used by an application
using the GetStockObject API
