SF 5 installing fonts under XP

[ruben]

I use Setup Factory 5.0 for my product which is a basic program, the only catch is that
i have to install a custom font.

I had to go from Setup Factory 4 to 5 because of the font under Windows Me.

Now i am expiriancing simular problems with XP, do i have to upgrade an other time
to Setup Factory 6 just because the way XP handles fonts??

Hi,

What seems to be the problem when you install fonts on a Windows XP machine?

Do you get an error, if so perhaps you post the exact error message.

Hi Mark,

i got the following message:

Setup was unable to register the following font:
courier bold (true type)
c:\win2000\fonts\courierbd.ttf

The font registration problem will be fixed in the next release due out today or tommorow (6.0.0.2).

i still use 5.0.1.6 will there also be an update for SF 5?

I solved the problem by recreating the font
with a newer version of the fonteditor, there
seems to be a difference between how XP handles TT fonts and older Windows versions. . .

Hi,

There wasn't a problem with the way Setup Factory 5.0 registers fonts, it was only a problem in 6.0.

Glad to hear that you solved the problem.
