Re: Visibility Problem in Windows XP
Aren't there some example fonts stacks on the user area of goRev? This is not my area at all, but it would seem that downloading something that works would be a good test. Also, you might want to build a little test loop that gave you info about each char in the field, such as repeat with x = 1 to the number of chars in fld targ get (x) && char x of fld targ get it && chartonum(char x of fld targ) get it && the font of char x of targ get it && the fontsize of char x of targ get it && the fontcolor of char x of targ put it into line x of charDisplay end repeat put "-" & the textfont of fld targ & " ---field text font" & cr before charDisplay put the fontnames & cr before charDisplay put charDisplay into the msg You might be a little surprised at the listing, but perhaps not.

I downloaded a Windows version of Revolution and began to fiddle around with the fonts that were not showing up. The problem is definitely related to the font that is being used. In my case I used Arial, which does not work well even with the Windows version of Rev! Aria was highly recommended as one of the fonts you could use on both Windows and the Mac. I've been waiting to see if anyone has anything to add about this, but I guess not. I suspect the reason is that no one has seen it (I never have.) I regularly use Ariel in stacks on Windows without any problem, so I'm not sure why you aren't seeing a display. Does your field text contain high-ascii characters? Maybe the Ariel font doesn't contain the characters you're using; each font is a little different. That's about all I can think of. Ariel does fine on Windows for me. I've never seen a centering problem either. As an experiment, try making a new stack with a single field and no scripts. Type some words in the field and make the field's textfont Ariel. Now open it in Windows. Does it display there? If so, then the problem is something in your particular stack rather than in the field or font. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Visibility Problem in Windows XP
I reported this problem related to fonts not showing up in Windows builds before. And it came back after I recreated my original stack by copying and pasting. I downloaded a Windows version of Revolution and began to fiddle around with the fonts that were not showing up. The problem is definitely related to the font that is being used. In my case I used Arial, which does not work well even with the Windows version of Rev! Aria was highly recommended as one of the fonts you could use on both Windows and the Mac. So far I found that the Tahoma font works better but it has problems with formating. If you format for center alignment, it will not be in the center. i have not had the opportunity to check the other Window fonts, which I will do tomorrow. My first question then is what Windows XP fonts do Rev Windows developers used? My second question: Has the "owner's font" problem associated with formating (bold, etc) been corrected? I find it unusual that the Rev Manual only gives a fleeing mention of owner's fonts. I did not know about owner's font until I used the text menu in the menu bar. I always used the inspector, which does not list it. I would greatly appreciate any information on this subject!!
