Font problems

Hi,

I'm experiencing some font problems. A program I've made is distributed to a
number of computeres in a workgroup. On some of the computers the font on a
user control is changed, (perhaps also its size - I can't determine that as
some fonts are bigger than others at same pts. setting). All machines are
installed with latest .net service pack. Are the fonts part of the .net
framework?

How can I solve this problem?

regards
a desperat dane.

No, fonts are generally installed with the operating system, but many
users will pick up extra ones from programs like Microsoft Office.

You could include the font in your program's installer, or even just
copy it to the individual target machine's font folder (usually
something like c:\windows\font s), but you'd probably be violating
somebody's copyright.

Ideally, you should try to avoid requiring specific non-standard fonts
in your program's interface. Are there really some special symbols
that you need in this font?

Why is there no standardized and well-working way for a web-page to offer the font for download/embed it, in order to be displayed on the page? No matter what you think of the preferred font of a designer, many web-sites offer an image of the text instead to "force" this font -- which certainly can't be the solution (it's a bit of a hassle to maintain and create).

I am playing with setting font sizes in CSS using em as unit of measurement. All seems to be fine. Even Netscape Navigator shows the characters very similar to IE, what is not the kind if px is used! But! when selecting the "Larger" or "Smaller" command from the menubar in IE, font sizes increases from normal (1em) to, say, 6em or so _in the first step_!!! In the next step it seems to be 20em or say. Choosing "Smaller" makes the text...

We have a content management system which allows our users to enter html into pages on the site but they often just paste in from Word and fill the site with word and html tags.

But is there anything in CSS which may also help to override font...

I've got a problem that IE doesn't seem to use the entire font unicode subgroups from a hinted font file. When I display the following web page in IE 6 as opposed to Firefox 1.0 PR.

I am having some issues with Firefox not rendering an element with the correct font. I am using the font-family style within a stylesheet class definition. I then set the element I am creating to use that class and the font is not showing correctly. If I set the font-family to "arial" or "Comic Sans MS" the font shows correctly, however I am trying to use the "Webdings" font, which is installed on my computer. All fonts show correctly...

The following code works in firefox. But IE displays the hyperlink at font-size=13 rather than font-size=10. Why? If its a known IE bug, how should I fix it? I always want the hyperlinks to take the size of the next parent element's class. thanks for the help, Shashi

Sorry if the question is a bit basic. I generally express my font sizes in pixels, originally to handle the Macintosh/Windows font size differences (though I believe that they both now treat points the same way, at least within the browser window). It has been suggested that one should use ems to allow browsers to increase or decrease the text size. However, I have never had trouble with pixels.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
