Code Editor Font in 3.03

[Peter Maroudas]

Hi

Just a minor cosmetic issue, in this latest update of FF 3.03, when I go to Tools - Enviroment Options
and then Code Editor, when I click on the 'Change' button to change the Font I get
There are no fonts installed. Open the Fonts folder from the Control Panel to Install fonts.

I have heaps of Fonts installed, this happens to both my Desktop PC and Laptop running XP SP3.

Hi Peter,

I checked on my system this morning and yes I've the same behavior on my PC

Same here on XP SP3.

One of the changes in 3.03 was to (supposedly) restrict the popup list of fonts to fixed pitch fonts because those are the only type of fonts that work in the editor itself. Before the chaneg, you could select fonts like Arial, Tahoma, Verdana and they would screw up the editor big time.

I changed the %CF_SCREENFONTS to %CF_FIXEDPITCHONLY flags before calling the ChooseFont function. I'll check to see where the screwup is.

I have 11 fonts that display including Courier and Courier New.

Happens to me too. No fonts installed it says. 

It shows courrier new.

Paul,

I don't know if it could help; you will see below two screenshots :

- The first one from FF3 3.03 registered version
- The second one from FF3 3.02 trial version.

The message in french is "There are no fonts installed. Open the Fonts folder from the Control Panel to Install fonts".

None here either, so I can't change to my favorite bitmap-font; Dina.

Hi Guys,

Please try the attached little test program. It uses the current FF3 approach (both hooked and not hooked) and it also uses the PB command DISPLAY FONT.

Do you still not see any fonts from any of the options in this test program?

[Marc van Cauwenberghe]

Hello Paul,

'Hooked' and 'Not hooked' give no fonts installed Last option is OK

[Paul Squires]

Interesting. So my "ChooseFont" api call is failing but PB's DISPLAY FONT is working okay.

[Barry Marks]

I'm getting the same results.  I can't change fonts in the editor, although I probably wouldn't have anyway.

I also get the same error message with the first 2 buttons in your test program and the third button seems to work fine.

FontTest.exe on XP SP3

Button...

1) Current FF3 Approach (Hooked)  - "There are No Fonts Installed" message.

2) Current FF3 Approach (Not Hooked) - "There are No Fonts Installed" message.

3) PB's Display Font - Displays Font Dialog & "Font selected:" message.

As you would expect. Same result on my x64-system.

Paul,

Same results as the other users on Win XP 32 bits SP3
