Font Problem

Font Problem

  There is no alternative that I know of other than to use a different font. Is there a reason why you have to use a postscript font

  Very strange - it must have been some odd combination of settings that caused the false warning. If you ever find a way to reproduce this please let us know.

  Mohan,

  I'm not sure how Visual Basic determines if a font is TrueType, but I suspect it is more than simply checking for a file extension. I also don't know how Word handles fonts, but I believe that Word allows non-TrueType fonts - if this is true, then the font that you downloaded may not necessarily meet the TrueType specification.

  You should follow up with the web site that provided the font and let them know about your problem - they can work with Microsoft to make sure that the fonts they are offering are truly compatible.

  Thx for your reply.

  Actually mailed them about the problem. But I didn't got any reply from them.

  It is confusing very much, that the fonts are now really working. I don't know where exactly things changed.

  But I was trying , changing options like language, input IME etc.,

  after that i tried a lot of trials to reproduce the error (" It is not a True Type Font").

  But I am unable to get the error.(Actually the Error came when setting the Font Property of a text Box itself.)

  Sorry for the Inconvenience.

  Thx and Regards,

  (But Still Iam in confusion with the Error why it said like that . The confusion is going for the past one week)

  Hi,

  I left the adobe fonts.

  I tried to work with true type fonts that is provided by www.ildc.in website. an indian language website.

  the fonts and the tools(IMEs) that are provided by the site working properly with microsoft word, wordpad etc.,

  using that fonts when i set the font property of a text field to this font. Visual Basic gives the error like " it is not a true type font."

  But Actually it is a true type font.(working in microsoft word Properly, perfectly.)

  don't know what it this

  Please reply.

  Hi,

  Visual Basic 2005 only supports TrueType and OpenType fonts - PostScript fonts aren't supported.

  nothing !.

  Thx.

  I need to convert the fonts to opentype. and then i need to recode it to local language.

  ( searching information from bhashaindia.com. But they are at higher level of concepts. May be very busy !..)

  Thx Again
