Environment fonts keep changing back to default

In order for my UIs to look good on all my deployed systems (usually windows xp or 7) I change all the environmental fonts (Tools>Options>Environmental>Fonts) to Tahoma (and, of course, set the init file to use tahoma for all these fonts).  Lately I've been noticing that every once in a while I will open LabVIEW and the fonts will be changed back to their defaults.  Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have a good work around?  It is frustrating because I usually don't notice this has happened until I've finished aligning multiple elements and then realize I have to change the font and align them again.
Note: I'm developing in LabVIEW 2012 on a Windows 7 pc.

Hey Gollum,
I found what seems to be causing your issue. There is a bug in LabVIEW 2010 and later that causes custom font tokens to be overwritten when any other change occurs in the LabVIEW.ini file. The Corrective Action Request (CAR) ID Number is 256978. The issue was fixed in LabVIEW 2013 (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14541/en/).

  • Quiz fonts type change back to default font type

    I changed the font type for the answers to the quiz questions and for some reason the first two of almost ever multiple choice question that I have in 15 separate modules changed back to Myraid Pro from Arial.
    I have changed it back to Arial, however, I wonder if I should have changed it all back to Myraid Pro.

  • Wallpaper keeps changing back to default

    I posted this in another forum, by accident.
    Here is a video of what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_iESJDAn6g
    I'm usually pretty good with my Mac, but I can't figure this one out, for the life of me.
    I use my older model Macbook Pro for a media computer. It's hooked up to a surround receiver, by a DVI>HDMI cable and with the optical audio out on the laptop. The surround receiver then goes to my TV, which I use as a display (I keep the laptop closed).
    Recently, I've done two new things to my setup:
    1. changed the desktop around with Geektool (it now displays the time, date and a calendar)
    2. bought a Logitech Harmony 1100 remote to control my media setup.
    For some reason, whenever I change from the Macbook Pro to, say, my Xbox, when I come BACK to the Macbook Pro, the wallpaper has changed from what I've chosen to the default wallpaper (from when you first install OS X). When I restart the computer, everything works properly and the wallpaper is back the way it should be, but until then, no matter how many times I change the wallpaper from the 'default,' it always waits about a second and changes itself back.
    To be clear, in the Desktop/Screen Saver settings, everything looks how it should look: the wallpaper that I want to be the wallpaper is still selected as the current wallpaper. When the picture on the actual desktop changes, nothing changes in the Desktop/Screen Saver Settings, which is what is so confusing to me. I can pick a wallpaper and have it show up for about a second, at which point the default wallpaper pops up on the desktop (meanwhile, the wallpaper I've selected is still the wallpaper selected in Desktop settings).
    It's truly bizarre. I've tried using InsomniaX, to see if maybe there was something weird when the computer was going to sleep (when I change inputs on the surround receiver), but the problem still persists.
    I've turned off Geektool and restarted Finder and nothing's happened and I can't imagine that the Harmony is sending a weird code that would make my computer's wallpaper change.
    I did a PRAM reset and that didn't solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I suspect Geektool is the culprit. Did you have this problem prior to installing it. If not, then I suggest that you contact Geektool's manufacturer to see if they can come up w/some suggestions.
    Have you tried any of the following?
    Trashing the desktop.plist file & restarting your computer?
    Repairing permissions and/or repairing your disk from the install DVD?

  • How do I change font and colors back to default?

    I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

    Hi Brenda19605,
    You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
    The default settings for the font are in this article:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
    Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
    Let me know if you need anymore help!

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?

    Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
    I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
    Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.

  • ITunes keeps changing to the default folder location

    I have no idea what's going on here, but, it's getting very frustrating.
    Here's the situation: I am running the latest version of iTunes (11.whatever) on Windows 7, and my default iTunes Library location is in My Music on my C:. Unfortunately, my C: is a tiny SSD, and I don't want all of my content going in there, since there's no room. I have two other internal hard drives that I use for file storage, and I want to relocate my library to one of these drives. These drives are not external, they are not networked, they are just regular, plain old drives that boot along with the computer.
    I have tried following the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    But, I had no luck with it. When I follow these steps, I open up iTunes, I turn on the "Keep iTunes Organized" option as stated, then press OK. Then I change the file location (in Advanced, under Preferences) to the place I want the library to reside, on a different drive. After pressing OK, I go to File, Library, and choose Organize Library (checking off the "Consolidate Files" option). After this completes, I try to delete the original iTunes library in My Music on C:, but, it won't let me, telling me the file is still in use. After closing iTunes, I am able to deleted it. Then, when I open iTunes again, it just completely ignores the folder that I created and moved everything to, makes a new folder in My Music, and goes back to default settings like nothing ever happened.
    I've seen a lot of people complaining about this problem when trying to set up their libraries on networked or external drives, but, that is not my issue. Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if I can provide any more information.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    First post so do not shoot me down if I break some rule here but as I was getting the same issue, V Frustrating i know, I thought I would post my solution.
    Felix, above pointed me in the right direction but I did this
    After following the steps from Dr Von Smith I closed iTunes
    Went to the old C drive location
    Moved the
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library.xml
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    and the Album Artwork
    to the new location on my D drive
    Held shift and clicked on iTunes icon
    it asked me for library location so I pointed it to the new location on D
    Closed iTunes
    Opened iTunes nomally and the Preferences > Advanced > location has held
    Time will tell but at least it seems to be sticking now....

  • Power Options Settings keep resetting back to default and system goes to sleep.

    Hi I have Windows Server 2012 Standard R2 installed on one of my servers, in which there is an issue with the power settings. In power options it keeps selecting the Balanced plan by default. Even if I manually change the power plan it still keeps resetting
    back to the default Balanced plan which in turn puts the System to sleep after 4 hours. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue. I have even tried using powercfg -SETACTIVE from command prompt by giving the appropriate Power Scheme
    GUID. But it didn't work either. Anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server.  Windows Server does not do that.  I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
    In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
    Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card?  Is there some setting in VMware?

  • Change Mailbox Behavior - Can it be changed back to default?

    I mistakenly changed the setting and want to change it back to default, i.e. keep sent box on the server rather than on my iPhone. Is it possible? If not, does not mean the messages in my sent box will stay on my server AS WELL AS on my iPhone? Thanks.
    I was a blackberry user and find I can not set the mail account as my blackberry. I want my iPhone to just check new emails when I am by my desktop. I do not want it to sync with my mail system which take too much space. Can anybody here help me?

  • Colour option keeps changing back to grey scale

    I imported a photo into illustrator CC  and I then live traced it and expanded it.   When I select it the colour options are grey scale.  I can change the option but if I click off the image the options go back to grey scale.  The doc colour set up is cmyk.    How do I get it to stay on a different option without having to keep switch it all the time?

    Step 1 -  import colour photo
    Step 2 - change colour options and colour mode to cmyk
    Step 3 - Image trace default
    Step 4 - expand
    Step 5  - direct select parts of expanded image to change the colours
    Step 6 - open colour options menu and see that it is grey scale
    Step 7 - change it again to cmyk and choose a colour
    Step 8 - direct select new part of expanded image
    Step 9 - goto colour options again which has changed back to grey scale
    Step 10 - change again to cmyk and pick a colour
    Maybe this is normal behaviour??  But seems really cumbersome to have to keep on changing it for everything I select. I just want it to stay on cmyk not revert to what is selected.

  • Buttons set as "free position" change back to default

    In iDVD 6, if you move a button to free position and then save it, when you re-open the project the button position changes back to the default position. I am using the iDVD 6 theme "Reflection Black" and positioned the button in the gray pane at the bottom but it moves back up the pane to the default position no matter how I try to save it. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks

    The first six slideshows behave themselves and stay where I position them in the area designed for the listing. The remaining six are off to the side right across the moving drop zones, which makes them hard to read.
    I believe all of the menus are defaulted to handle six buttons, while you can add up to twelve on some, maybe this main menu can only "hold" six... I had four on mine.
    How about one button on the main menu that says something like "Slideshows" and when you click on that it takes you to a new menu (the chapter menu) and try to put twelve there.
