Fonts problem

[marco_cgd]

Hi,
Anyone knows how to add a new file in a text style window of a text box ???

I have this situation.
One pc has CVI ver. 8.0 and when i try to select a font from text style
window of a text box in an uir i can see arial CYR.
When i do it with a pc with CVI ver.8.0.1 i can't see Arial CYR and also
other fonts.
Any suggest ???

Thank's
Marco

CVI uses normal Windows fonts installed in the system. You can detect which fonts are installed looking in Control Panel >> Characters. Some fonts are part of standard OS installation while others can be added while installing other applications: this can be the reason why you cannot see some fonts in the second machine.

I am not sure of it but font files should be transferrable from system to system. The only problem can be if some of them are copyrighted and installed as a part of another application.

I just check in control panel>Charatters, but in every pc i havn't Arial
CYR.
I did another test. I uninstalled from pc CVI ver. 8.0.1 and i installed old
ver. 8.0.

Miracle!!! That font appears. 😉

Why ????

Thank's

Marco,

This was a change that took place between CVI 8.0 and 8.0.1. Whenever you would select a font using CVI 8.0 or earlier, you would see one entry for each character set available for a particular font family. This could be confusing, and it was changed in 8.0.1 so that you now only see one entry for the entire font family, and that entry should correspond to the character set that you've chosen for your OS.

Just because you only see "Arial" and not "Arial CYR" does not mean that you can't display cyrillic characters. If you want to display cyrillic characters, and you have your system configured accordingly (Control Panel>>Regional and Language Options>>Advanced>>Language for non-Unicode programs) you should be able to do so by selecting "Arial" in 8.0.1 (whereas in 8.0 you would have to select "Arial CYR").

Hi Luis
I checked in Control Panel, and i selected my language (italian).
My problem is that i had to change font in a text box when a flag is turn
on. In CVI ver.8.0 i did this changed font attribute of text box. In new
version this is not possible. When i try to change it i can see only "arial
chaatters". I don't want change settings of OS every time i need to change
text box font.
How can i do ???

Thank's

So, in your application, you need to display both character sets (western and cyrillic) regardless of the Control Panel setting?

I don't think this is a supported feature. (Can you do this in other applications?) The control panel setting determines which character set to use for non-Unicode applications (CVI is a non-Unicode application), and therefore you only have access to fonts that match that character set.

I realize that you could do this in older versions of CVI, but this was never intentional, and as it turned out there were problems associated with supporting all the character sets properly, so we had to change this in 8.0.1.

I'm sorry that this change seems to have affected you negatively...
