Re: revFontLoad issue: odd spacing

Hi Curt, Any ideas? Should I be calling revFontLoad in some other way? My advice would be to not call it at all! This is something we should really mark in the docs - revFontLoad / revFontUnload (and the revFont external) are no longer needed. The engine has built-in support for font

revFontLoad issue: odd spacing

I'm running into an issue with revFontLoad on Windows 10 (Livecode 7.0.5). The first time I open the standalone, the font seems to load OK - text is clearly displaying in the custom font - but it looks like there's 4 or 5 spaces between each word. If I close the standalone and open i

Greetings! I am trying to load a font with the revFontLoad command, but my standalone errors "can't find handler". Yes, "Font Support" is selected in the Standalone Builder. It works fine in the IDE. I looked in the standalone app's contents and the revF

Re: revFontLoad: font size issues?

Curt: Are you building on a Mac system and then transferring to Windows? I've found that I have to explicitly set font styling at startup when creating cross-platform stacks that use something other than the default fonts and sizes. You might try this and see if it makes a difference. Another o

revFontLoad: font size issues?

I'm using 4.0 on a Mac and need to load a font for both Mac & Windows versions of the standalone. There are fields which need to use a mix of generic 18 pt Times New Roman, and an IPA (international phonetic alphabet) font, also at 18pt. I'm able to get the font to load without issues but the I

Re: revFontLoad

Hi Lars, If you can't get revFontLoad to work, you might use the Installer Maker (link in signature) to install your entire application including the font. Currently, you can get a license for Installer Maker at a 25% discount at http://livetalk.us/im If you are determined to get revFon

revFontLoad

For years now I have from time to time tried to get revFontLoad to work in Windows. This particular font requires no licensing. I have spent the day trying one more time. I have read and re-read every post to this list that contains either "revFontLoad" or "embedding fonts."

Re: revFontLoad Question

Good to know Trevor - thanks. I've been testing this out, loading the font in the startup handler. So far so good. Marty Hi Marty, I include a password font with some of my applications that I load with revFontLoad. I store the file in the bundle alongside my application stacks. I

Re: revFontLoad Question

Thanks for your input Mark, I would agree that properly installing the font is the best approach. But as I can't seem to get my question answered by Apple about requirements for the Mac app store, I'm assuming that they won't allow it. I did some tests quite a while ago with

I would just make sure and check the fine print on distribution rights of the font, and what the terms are. If it's an open source font it should be ok. Milage may vary. On 22 January 2011 14:49, Marty Knapp wrote: > I want to package a font with my Mac only app and use revFontLoad to l

I want to package a font with my Mac only app and use revFontLoad to load it into memory. Is there a problem with just tucking it inside the application bundle and loading it from there? Or should I put it into a custom property and then write it out to the user's hard drive and put it
