    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Incorrect or missing font?

I have never had this before so I'm unsure where to look to correct the problem. I am using the autopilot from the AlphaSim B-57. . .I've used it extensively actually and the readouts always look correct. Now I've added it to an airplane and actually both the GPS and the AP displays are messed up.

I've looked at the xml file for the AP and it calls for "quartz" as the font
I've also checked the xml file for the GPS and it calls for "Arial"

I have both of those in the Fonts folder of the Sim, so is it looking somewhere else for the fonts that I'm not aware of?
 
Look under your control panel for a "Fonts" subdirectory. If they are not there, copy what you have to there. That may work

That all checked out Mike. The other possibility is that it has to do with the resolutions. The GPS and AP as Pop-Ups display fine, but place them in the VC and the fonts are out of wack. The VC placeholder is 1024,1024, the resolution of the VC texture is 4096,4096.

Hi Ed
I am also having problems with another installation and during discussions came accross this.


Hi,
If you are using Windows 7, there is an inherent problem with the default fonts that was caused by a previous Win 7 update.
The advice on this page should fix it - https://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/270432-exception-code-0xe0434352-system-drawing-font-createnativefont.htm

Ok, I'm in Win10 but if I restore the fonts to their default settings, does that affect only the default fonts, or does that delete everything (all the additional fonts downloaded and installed over the past 20 years) and start over from scratch? Nothing I've read addresses that little tidbit, it just talks about the default fonts being set to their original default settings.
