Detecting Problems with FontTool
This section covers problems you may encounter when using
FontTool. If the font file is generated but the sample text does not
appear, consider the following causes.
Specified code page not available
When a font file is generated, the code page for that font must be
available on the computer. FontTool uses this code page to generate
the characters for the font file.
The code page may not be available for the following reasons:
•
English version of the Windows operating system is running but
an appropriate Input Method Editor (IME) is not active.
•
IME is active but the wrong language is selected (some Input
Method Editors support multiple languages).
•
International version of the Windows is running but is not the
correct version. For example, Windows 3.1 has separate
distributions for Simplified Chinese (code page=936) and
Traditional Chinese (code page=950).
Selected font does not contain specified characters
If the font style (selected in the Font dialog) does not contain the
correct characters, either:
•
characters will not appear or
•
each double-byte character appears as 2, single-byte characters.
Detecting Problems with External Fonts in PanelBuilder
This section covers problems you may encounter when using
external font files with PanelBuilder.
Characters may not appear correctly in PanelBuilder for the
following reasons:
•
If you enter a character not in the font file, PanelBuilder displays
asterisks to indicate an invalid character.
•
If the code page for the font file is not available through the
operating system, characters will appear correctly on the
application screen, but not in the Text Edit box on the tool bar, the
Text Editor, or spreadsheet editors for multistate devices.
The code page may not be available because:
– international version of Windows does not match the code
page of the font file.
– language selected in the Input Method Editor does not match
the code page of the font file.
– external font was not selected or supported by the PanelView.
