Corrupt font

Solved!
Go to solution
I have a corrupt font problem!We have a PC running Windows XP SP3 I have previously installed a Labview program, built using labview 2009, and it has installed fine with no problems with the font.A colleague of mine has created an installer with Labview 2009 – SP1,  installed it and the menu font became corrupt! He has installed it on other computers with no problem. I took Labview completely off the computer and re-installed the program build using Labview 2009 (without SP1) and the fonts are still corrupt. Can anyone explain what is going on and how to solve it?

Foreign language version of LabVIEW or Windows?  Unicode?  What does his font settings look like in Windows where you can change your display settings and appearances?

Foreign language version of LabVIEW or Windows? - No - U.K.
Unicode?   - I have compared the font settings with another PC and they match.
What does his font settings look like in Windows where you can change your display settings and appearances? - It is just the Labview program that has corrupt fonts.

Hello TC_Magic,

 

As you pointed out yourself, this is a problem very specific with that particular PC. Nothing similar has been reported before, and since your appication deploys fine on other PCs, then we can only look more closely at settings on the computer where the issue appears.

 

Are there other languages installed on Windows? If you go to your Control Panel and navigate to your "Regional and Language Options", then you can select the "Languages" tab and click on the "Details" button. Can you see other languages installed there? This might be the root of this problem.

 

This, in combination with the language support you select in your Application properties in the Build Specifications of your LabVIEW project, will cause the menu of your executable to adopt to different languages. Go into your project, open your Build Specifications for your executable, then select the "Run-Time Languages" from the Category section, and then uncheck the "Support all languages" option. Then, uncheck all languages apart from English, and click on "Build". Redeploy your application and check if this fixed the problem.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for all your help.

 

I took all the Labview files off the computer (I think I didn't take SP1 off last time) and re-installed the software and the corrupt font had gone.
