Using Windows Fonts
This section describes how to use Windows Fonts.
To register and use a Windows Font in Text Manager
1 Select the Use Text Manager check box on the Properties dialog box for Draw Objects and Parts.
• The Use Text Manager check box may appear in different locations depending on the part. This table shows
where to find this property:
• The Alarm List Display and Alarm Log Display parts are designed to use the text registered in the Text Manager so
the Use Text Manager check box is not shown.
2 Specify the Text ID for the Windows Font set in Text Manager.
Selecting Windows Font for the Font property for Draw Objects and Parts automatically disables these
properties:
• Style: The style set under Windows Font will be used.
• Magnification: The width by height magnification will be set to 1 x 1. Note, Magnification can be
selected on the Message Display, Message Switching Display, and Alarm List Display
parts, but will not be reflected on the actual text displayed. To use scrolling on these
parts, adjust the display area for text using the Magnification property.

• Using the Text ID for the Windows Font set in Text Manager disables these settings in the Properties
dialog box:
- Align Text:
Multiple lines of texrot are shown aligned center-left when Center is selected. Text
is shown with right-indented left-aligned when Right is selected.
With right-indented left-aligned formatting, the line containing the most number of
characters is aligned on the right end while the other lines are aligned to the left
end of that line.
- Vertical Writing: Horizontal writing is used.
• The maximum number for the unit in the Numerical Input and Numerical Display parts is 4 characters.
The fifth character and any characters beyond that will appear outside the part.
• In the Message Display, variable text “\@” appears as is.
• With the Alarm List Display and Alarm Log Display, line spacing is not automatically adjusted based on
the size of the text. Adjust it using the Line Spacing property on the Format tab.
• If text containing a carriage return is used for a label on a Bar or Line Chart, or for an Alarm List Display
or Alarm Log Display part, it will appear truncated after the carriage return if a non-Windows Font is
used. The entire text, including the carriage return, is shown when using a Windows Font.
• When printing Alarm Logs, Text IDs set to a Windows Font will be printed using a font that exists on the MICRO/I.
