Fonts installed on the web client???

Hi all,

developing a multilingual app in .net and relying on
the .NET cultures. There is a need to determine
programmaticall y whether or not the browser client-side
supports a particular font, for example "Are asian fonts
installed? If yes, display simplified chinese as a viable
option. If not, display install this font message."

CultureInfo.Get Cultures
(CultureTypes.I nstalledWin32Cu ltures)) refers to the
server-side, so don't even go there :?).

I could not find anything on the subject!

Try just embedding them. If your clients are using IE, then go here:

I don't know about support for other browsers.

I have a bunch of custom fonts installed on my system. For instance if I look at the font drop-down in word pad I see about 90 fonts, but if I build an app using VS.Net, add a label, and try to change the font - I'm only given a choice of about 20 - the "standard" fonts which are installed with the OS (XP). How can I get the rest of my fonts in this box? Thanks.

Just spent a whole day banging my head against a brick wall. Application (Access 2) merging to Word. Client says font for one particular thing has gone. I realized that it was never there, but Word was substituting in one close enough that we didn't notice in testing. Now even that has gone (Edwardian ITC). First of all any idea why standard Office fonts disappear. All that has happened on their system is that SP4 of Win2K has been...

Don't really want to embed fonts, it adds to the download time, although this may be my only choice. I am also not sure how the browsers handle families of fonts. I am using Arial and Sans-Serif for ALL the languages and the client sees empty squares instead of a language font until they install a particular culture. Embedding a whole family of fonts does not sound like a fast download.

Hi, I have installed a truetype font (.ttf) on a linux machne (SUSE linux 10, KDE) by copying it to my .fonts folder. I can use the font in all applications like open-office and firefox browser. However, I cannot use the font in a python app that I am writing. The list returned by Tkfont.families does not contain this particular font. Any suggestions ?

1. I've installed a bunch of fonts in main application, which is in native C++ code using AddFontResourceEx 2.

However, I want the C# application be able to use those fonts. Although the C# app...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
