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, -Patrick

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! -Patrick
