Hi,
Assuming I'm enumerating the list right, there isn't much installed on my Bitsy Plus for fonts. Just Tahoma and Courier New, and in odd sizes. Is there a complete list of installed fonts somewhere? Can Windows True Type files just be copied to the device using ADSCopy for use in programs?
Thanks,
-Patrick

Patrick,

Yes, Tahoma and Courier are the only fonts installed in our development systems. You can install any True Type font by simply copying it to the \Windows\Fonts folder.

I must be missing something. I did as suggested, copied a couple of different font files to \windows\fonts but I still can't seem to access them. If I reset my BitsyX, the files are lost. How do I "install" these? Thanks.

Copy to \Windows not to \Windows\Fonts

The primary CE file system is a RAM disk, so when you turn the system off, all the data you've saved is wiped out. There are a number of solutions, including non-volatile storage and backup power, but probably the easiest is to use the ADSCopy application posted at topic 463.

I still can't get it to work. I've copied the file, in this case alba.ttf to the \Windows folder. In my code, I am using a LOGFONT structure, and am setting the font face "Alba"
I don't see what could be the problem. If I change the face to "Courier New" or "Verdana", those fonts work.
Thanks,

I don't know if this will help but is an alternative.

We register the font through code by using "AddFontResource(filename)" in our ADSCopy-like application. The font file can also be anywhere doing it this way.

Seems like we had problems with Windows CE not picking up the font by the copy method.

Worked like a charm, thank you very much!
Do you bother to remove the font at all?
Thank you!
