I've been tasked
with coming up with standards for fonts in our LabVIEW
application.
From reading in the
manual and online I've found the following: "The
Application font is the LabVIEW default font used in the Controls palette, the
Functions palette, the context help, and tip strips. The System font is the LabVIEW default font
used for menus. The Dialog font is the
LabVIEW default font used for text in dialog boxes and system controls. When you
port a VI that contains one of these fonts to another platform, LabVIEW ensures
the font maps to something similar on that platform. If you use a defined font
on a section of text, avoid changing the size of that text. If you change the
font to something other than the default size and then port the VI to a
different platform, LabVIEW tries to match the font with the new size, which
might be inappropriate depending on the resolution of the
screen.”
I can not, however, see any difference in these three
different fonts when I switch a control from App, to System, to Dialog.
I'm thinking of just making our standard "use
Application font for all items" unless there's a compelling reason to do
otherwise in a specific instance.
Is there any reason not to do
that?
