Dialog Box Formatting is Incorrect (wrong font)

SD · Guest

I just chased down a nagging problem and thought I would post the fix.
After building an XPe image based on the XP Pro Emulation script many
of the dialogs in our internal programs had strange formatting
problems.

I finally cahsed this down to the XPe image which had the Greek
version of the system fonts installed; VGASYSG.FON, VGAFIXG.FON,
VGA869.FON. To correct this I changed the following registry entries
to the correct FON files (VGASYS.FON, VGAFIX.FON, VGAOEM.FON).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware
Profiles\Current\Software\Fonts]
"FONTS.FON"="VGASYS.FON"
"FIXEDFON.FON"="VGAFIX.FON"
"OEMFONT.FON"="VGAOEM.FON"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize]
"FONTS.FON"="VGASYS.FON"
"FIXEDFON.FON"="VGAFIX.FON"
"OEMFONT.FON"="VGAOEM.FON"

In posting this I see that Mark Gillespie has previously had a similar
issue and has placed a component to fix the registry entries on
www.xpefiles.com at

Hmmm.. I thought I have added those keys to the latest version of XPProEmulation I posted on xpefiles but can't recall it.
I always add the keys via my component to prevent font issues but I should make sure they get to the XPProEmualtion as well (took
me a while too to figure out those missing keys a few years ago Smile

). If it is not there, I'll fix it and post another version of
the project on xpefiles.

Thanks much for pointing this out!
