Fonts changing size in deployed code

I'm stuck here.  We have  2 identical deployed .exe progs on what should be identical laptops (ordered together, same product, fairly untouched) running windows 7.  Somehow the fonts on one laptop are off (changed sizes, look like they might also have turned to bf, probably a different font) while on the other "identical" labtop things look ok.  A quick check of the obvious possible suspects: same number and type of fonts appear to be installed, fonts setting appear the same, can't find anything different installed on the laptops that might explain the discrepancy like MS word or adobe software that might contain other fonts (but as I mentioned seems that the installed fonts are the same). Only difference in installed programs seem to be Matlab and Firefox installed on the laptop with the font problems. Would uninstalling these programs even make a difference?
Anyone have an idea what is going on here, and for things I might try?
Edit: uninstalling Matlab and Firefox in fact did not make any difference, FYI.

Did you develop the application yourself or is it from elsewhere?
A LabVIEW developer should never use default fonts on the front panel. Always use defined fonts.
(I wonder if it would help to add the current font entries to the application.ini file. I have not tried. Anyone?)
Font handing is currently one of the real weak points of LabVIEW, and there are plenty of ideas to make it better ( e.g. here)

  • Using Labview and WIndows WP fonts change size for no reason

    I can fix the page, come back in a few days and the font size has changed to a smaller size. Any idea why?
    Message Edited by Fred Bauer on 10-13-2008 11:03 AM

    Can you provide some more information on this? LV Version, are all the fonts changing, what custom font are you trying to use and on what parts of the front panel(text boxes, comments, control labels)?
    I know in executables, the font size is standardized by the browser, but I find it odd that it works at first but then resets 'after a few days'
    Looks like this user is having the same problem...I'll take a look into this when I get a chance, but any more information woul be useful.

  • Fonts change size and content when edited in photoshop cs6

    When I try editing the type in the document created in Photoshop CS6, some of the fonts I click on change their size, formatting as well as content of what it says.
    It also started happening when I try changing canvas size. All of the fonts that got corrupted somehow, changing their formatting and content as I'm changing the canvas size.
    The document has been created from scratch..
    thanks for your help ahead of time!

    I've reset my brush, so "replace current brushes with the default brushes" was taken.

  • CS6 static text field fonts change size on export to iOS

    I've resolved my previous isue with opening my CS5.5 project in CS6 ... but now when I package the project for iOS, all of my text is slightly larger nad offset compared to what Isee in Flash Pro CS6.  I'm using Classic Text - Static Bitmap (no anti aliasing).
    Are their new features with regard to Fonts that I should be aware of?
    Any ideas?

    Phew!  Anyway, a couple of months ago, I asked Jeffrey Friedl the same question.  His reply:
    I asked for (and was given) permission to tell you:
         f:static_text {
             title = 'Visit Site',
             mouse_down = function()
                LrHttp.openUrlInBrowser( someUrl )
             end,
             [ WIN_ENV and 'adjustCursor' or 'adjust_cursor' ] = function()
                logger:debug('mouse_over handler activated')
             end,
             text_color = LrColor( 0, 0, 1 ),
    Enjoy!
    When asked if I could share the information, he replied:
    The permission didn't come with any restrictions, so I guess it's okay to
    spread around.
    Anyway, the critical part of the code snippet that's missing is what to do in the "mouse_over handler" function.  What I did for all of my links was to call a common function that would launch an async task that would change the color of the link, then change it back after a period of time.
    I passed "self" (the static_text being hovered over) to my common routine so it could keep track of the active link, and reset the previous link when the user hovers somewhere new.
    Good luck, and, as Jeffrey said, Enjoy!

  • Font changes size during copy and paste

    How can you get photoshop to keep the same font size during copy and paste? For example, I copied text that was 14pt and it pasted as 16.44pt. I am copying and pasting text in the same photshop document. Thanks!

    Then tell us more about your issue: is it the case for all files, does it happen for text lines, or paragraph text, inside the same text block...
    What are the settings of the text tool?

  • Font changing size when i go to yahoo mail on my new netbook sometimes its ok other times it appears microscopic i have to close firefox then reopen and sometimes this works other times it does not work Why ?

    this does not happen on any other site i visit only on yahoo mail.yahoo,s answer to the same question is we dont know reason maybe its firefox.

    I have had that happen with Comcast web mail, too. You can't hold the Ctrl key and then use the scroll wheel to do certain functions in the web mail software. That function will work in the web mail software, but you will also change the Zoom factor of the page. You have to remember to '''''reset''''' the Zoom factor immediately, Firefox will remember the Zoom factor and use that until you reset it to default.

  • Change Font and Size of Graph Annotations

    Just learned a cool little trick from Christina Rogers about how to change the font and size of a graph annotation after I left a comment on her blog (if you are unsure how to create a graph annotation, check LabVIEW Help).
    With the Cursor Legend selected, use the Font Dropdown on the toolbar to select the font you want for the annotation. Apparently, annotation and cursor text on the graph inherit the font of the Cursor Legend. If you do not like how the Cursor Legend looks after you have changed the font, you can make it invisible again (I have never shown the cursor legend in final UI products... and I have never used "Hobo Std" in final UI products...).

  • Setting up prefs for code view fonts and sizes

    using cs5
    i copied some pages in from another computer... the fonts and sizes in code view are too small.
    in prefs - fonts - I made them bigger - then said apply source formatting
    but they don't always seem to stick - maybe the next day they are small again
    Q: how do I get font pref settings to work for all sites all the time?
    thanks in advance - dave

    Such settings are not carried in from external pages, they are part of your preferences.  In other words, opening a page could not change your existing preferences.

  • Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions?

    Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions? All I want to do is change the font and size of a table or div.
    http://www.allgearinc.com/AG12SSWL-Swift.htm -One problem page

    If you want to change the fonts of the entire page then this code will do the trick:
    body {
        font-size: 16pt;
        color: silver;
         font-family: whatever, goes, here;
    If you want to change the fonts of ALL tables on a page then the code is something like this:
    table {
        font-size: 20pt;
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: bold;
    what exactly do you want to change?  Can you be a bit specific so that Ben or Ken can give you the exact code and tell you about the short-hand method to write the code in one line.
    Have you bought a book on CSS yet?  If not, it is a good idea to get one as a reference.  Eric Meyer writes good books on CSS.

  • How to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file?

    hi!
    I’d like to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file I-485 from www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows XP. I firstly tried Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the I-485 file requires password to be opened, which I don’t know.
    Then I tried to print it to a PDF file, and use the Typewriter tool to fill in the form. But got error message while printing it to PDF file:
    This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
    Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
    The I-485 file can be exported to unencrypted postscript file, but got the same error message while trying to open the ps file.
    I don’t know much about pdf file, can anyone please help?
    Thanks a lot!

    Ask the creator of the file for a unprotected version.

  • I am not satisfied with the font and size of print that I set. How do I change it?

    When I first set up Firefox on my desktop, I set the print size and font. I have found that it is too large and I really would like to change the font, also. I can't find a spot to do that. I might be looking right at it but don't realize it. Could you help me?

    I can't remember what I did when I set the font and size of articles that I printed from the pages on Firefox. I just know that I tried something a few months ago and have not been happy with the settings that I made. I can't find anywhere to change those settings and have tried so many things but they do not change the look of the pages I print when I click print. I tried to see if I could change the settings but all it does is change portrait or landscape and margins...nothing about fonts or sizes. I am getting so frustrated even though I love Firefox.

  • Changing text features (font, point size etc) in multiple text boxes at the same time

    That pretty much says it all: I'm using pages for some simple initial rendering to send my graphic designer and it would save me some time if I could change the font & point-size for all the various text boxes at the same time.
    Cheers,
    Rax

    Thank you both!
    How 'bout changing the actual content uniformly? Am I still stuck changing each box individually? I know that I am pushing it to do things that it wasn't made for, but I can dream, can't I?
    Thanks again,
    Rax

  • How do you change the font and size in descriptions in iPhoto?

    When I add a description to a photo in a slide show, it appears in only one font size and one continuous line across the frame.  Is there any way to change the font and size?  Can the description be multiple short lines instead of one long one?

    You can't.  It's hard coded into the application.  You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

    Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

    It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
    font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
    Would you be willing to try version 31?
