My company just updated to Labview 2015. Within a number of legacy VI's, the Wingdings 3 font was used to display up and down arrows. Using an image to display arrows is not an option and Alt Codes display as '?'.
If I highlight the text, the font combo-box displays Wingdings 3, but it is no longer a selectable option in the drop down menu. Please tell me I don't have to alter every VI that used this font.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It's still present in my install of LV2015. If it truly is missing I don't think it's a LabVIEW issue.
Any chance that the font list has it on there but it just isn't sorted properly? For some reason I have a bunch of fonts at the end of the list that are not listed in alphabetical order.

I just double checked. There is still a "Wingdings" font, but "Wingdings 2" and "Wingdings 3" are not on the list. I'm frustrated because LabVIEW recognizes that it was originally formatted as the Wingdings 3 font, but is unable to apply that font.

Wingdings 3 didn't appear on the fonts list for my LV2015 install, but the font was also missing from the c:\Windows\Fonts directory.
I copied the Wingdings 3 font to this directory from another machine and it instantly appeared in the LV dropdown list (without having to close and restart).

Glad it was a simple fix.
