German Operating system and fonts

[Stefan_M]

it looks lake a strange behavior depending on german operating system.

I'm using Font Arial.
Opening the Font dialog the Font style is always empty. (independent from selected font)
note: For german OS the Font styles are called "Standard, Kursiv, Fett and Fett Kursiv".

The published project doesn't show text if the Font style is other than Standard.

Using other fonts like Tahoma and Times New Roman the text is OK.

Testet on two Win2000 PC's.


Question:
Executing a published project on systems without having the required fonts installed, how will the text be displayed?

Stefan,

Thanks for the report. We will investigate this matter. If you would be willing to run some tests for us if needed once we work on fixing the problem, please email me (brett@indigorose.com).

AMS50 actually embeds the fonts wihtin the application. At runtime the fonts are read from the project and used only for the application's process. They are then unloaded from memory when the application exits.

AMS50 uses a similar method to the one described here:

Actually, if you (or anyone else out there who can replicate the same problem) can zip up and email me a font that demonstrates this behavior I would greatly appreciate it (brett@indigorose.com).

I need to have such a font here that we can run some tests with.

Hi Brett,

it looks like a problem with converted projects.
I started with AMS40 and changed to AMS50.
With new projects there are no troubles.

Tomorrow I will try to make a little project for you.
