Patch 1.49 Font Problem - Page 2

Husky65 · #11 October 30th, 2001, 12:52 AM

I am in Australia and was running Win2k with 1.49 patch, it worked fine.

I am now running 1.49 patch with XP pro, it works fine.

Ok I'll get the other fonts remade asap.

To test if it is really working try naming a ship something like ��
You should not see anything with the old small fonts, but see the name in the title fonts.

I don't think the bug is related with your regional options, but with some vague windows manage.

Speaking of fonts, Andres, the e in your name was appearing incorrectly for me earlier when I viewed this thread - but now it's fine! I have no idea what went on...

Ok here you have a new set of fonts to test.
I�m also including a the original, and the ones in v1.49 so you can test if the bug appears again. (I wouldn�t be surprise if the work ok now. Stranger things have happened)
And I made a list of names using symbols to test if they�re being displayed ok.

I also found that making a true type font based in a .FON font wasn�t as hard as I thought. Expect to see an SE4 button TTF soon.

No Kwok, I don't think it was the forum, it was most likely your system, probably you restarted it or unloaded (or loaded?) some freeing some memory and causing the fonts to be reloaded.

It's not appearing correctly now...wierd...would I have that problem even if I had 128Mb of RAM?

Just as a note.

The difference between this revised Version of the fonts and the ones included in v1.49:
In the 1.49 Version I took another font that included all chars, and copied in it all chars from the seiv fonts, then I edited the resting chars to fit.
Now I copied all of these additional characters into the seiv fonts. (6 fonts, approximately 128 extra chars each font, using a program that doesn�t support key shortcuts, means I had to click on the menu edit/copy edit/paste 768 times)

Dunno Kwok, what OS are you using? maybe upgrading your browser (Ms IE?) to latest Version can help.

I often visit pages in spanish an pages in english (my win98 and all regional setting are Spanish Argentina) and have very few times seen that kind of error.

The revised fonts are working perfectly.

I tried using the standard 1.49 fonts again, and I still couldn't see anything on my Win2K work PC. I'd blame the computer engineer who built the computer, but thats me.

Strangly enough my Win98 home Notebook works aok.

Thanks again Andr�s and sorry for causing so much work.
