Re: P40 fonts

Post by Nick - A2A »

As you say Hook, it's an interesting one. Maybe it's not the .ttf but the system .fon font which it's looking for. Just out of interest, what the exact filename of "Courier Regular" on your system if you right click it in the "Fonts" folder and select properties?

Thanks,

I have installed a very old "coure.fon", so not a TTF, and this fixed the problem.

Thank you guys for the kind help!
Posted my previous reply just before I saw Ros's reply above. So seems it's definitely a missing WIndows system font (*.fon) which causes the issue. One to file away for future reference anyway!

Cheers guys,

Congrats. And thanks to Nick for pointing me to c:\windows\fonts which I didn't know about.

If I look in Font Settings I don't see any of those fonts.

In C:\Windows\fonts I see the font but it's displayed as a font sample. I had to check properties to get the coure.fon file name. I put that as an edit to my earlier post.

Glad we got this one figured out, but Ros did the hard work by determining he had an old version of the font.

You're welcome Ros and no headache at all as Hook says. Topics like this can be very informative for me, as well as for others who find themselves with the same issue and search threads like this one out. :)
