Some text missing after publishing project

[verescak]

Hi, all! I have made a multimedia business card according to user's guide for AMS5. I fully acted in accordance with this guide. But there is some text missing after project publishing.Especially this on buttons.It doesn't work if application is launching under Windows XP. But under Windows ME and others is everything O.K and application works properly. Can anybody help me?

Hi there, this may be unrelated, however, if you havent, try running
under XP from a full Admin Account..if works you will need to modify
your code to ensure is running from this type of account.

There are actions you can use to check\verify the account permissions.

If this is not the issue...it could be 'font' selection related in some way.
(try an operating system default font eG: ' microsoft san serif ' 9 or 10. )

There could be some 'scripting issues' if there is any 'on-preload'
button 'set text' etc.

These are wild guesses, but you never know.

I would go with the "fonts" solution.
Two OS, could be that you are using fonts that are not supported, like maybe a different language?

same problem over here (belgium) especially the text on window buttons vanish after publication. Also some label text (verdana font). I also run under XP. Switching to other fonts is a quick solution though it gives no satisfactory explanation for "why" this is happening and how to prevent or cure the problem in a more satisfying way. FI in powerpoint one can opt to "embed" fonts.

have you tried registering the font your using?

There is an action for it in AMS

I took this from the help

[CODE]fonts_dir = Shell.GetFolder(SHF_FONTS); -- Gets the path to the user's Font directory.
System.RegisterFont(fonts_dir .. "\\myfont.ttf", "Crazy Font", true);[CODE]

A jolly good tip. thanks. I will try it.

Sincerely,

Well I have a problem like this a while ago.
I don't really know why does the problem affect the Arial font. I mean I was able to uses it on the AMS5 but when publishing it desapear.

Then I realized that the problem occur when I reach more than 1200 fonts installed. And there are some other programs that are not able to read more than 1200 fonts on the system. But also there are some other that supports them. The only solution... delete some of your fonts until you get only 1'199.

This could be also treated as a bug on AMS5.

NOTE. If you don't have more than 1200 fonts your problem is diferent.

If that is the case then perhaps you could register your font with a name that ensures it appears at the top of the list?

Nope, this does not work, I don't know what order it follows, but the Arial font is corrupted

I have less than 1200 fonts and in tutorial type application I have developed numerous paragraph and label objects are not appearing when app is run on other people's computers. At first it was with odd True Type fonts like ITC Zapf Chancery, etc., and I thought it was that AMS was just not embedding the fonts properly, or that the other person's computer just didn't have that font on it, but now it's even happening with Arial and Microsoft Sans Serif which everyone has. I don't know what this "registering" fonts business is. The documentation apparently takes for granted that the user knows what this is.
