I wonder if anybody else has run across this problem with Windows Vista
(does anybody use Vista?),
7 or 8?
If I install a font that has non-standard Unicode chars in the Personal
Private Use Area on one of these Windows systems (I test with Windows 7)
something 'funny' happens:
Those chars that are in the standard Unicode places are substituted for
a standard Windows-native font,
but those in the PPU area are left as they are, kerning rules in either
the font or inwith Livecode itslef are over-ridden by Windows; something
that does not happen with Macintosh, Linux or Windows XP.
From my point of view, at least, this is a "show stopper" for Windows
V, 7 and 8.
I have been digging around in the LC Documentation and found
'revFontLoad' which looks
as though it might be a possibility, except that it seems to rely on
absolute paths, when one cannot rely
on an end-user putting one's homegrown font exactly where one wants it
to be.
I would be grateful if anybody who has run up against this or similar
problems and has found a way to circumvent them could let me (and the
use-list!) know of how they coped with this.
Richmond.
