TB0007 - Install Font for Correct Layout in On-line Help

Number: TB0007

Availability: As of BuildPro 8.00, all users.


Introduction


The BuildProfessional online manuals use special equation characters to describe logic command options. On some Windows PCs these special characters do not display correctly. An additional font can be installed to correct the layout.
 

Problem

After installing BuildProfessional on a MS-Windows machine, some screens of the online help can look like this:

Garbled Syntax


In the online help, the font "Fences Regular (True Type)" is used to display the various equations. This font is not always automatically installed when installing MS-Windows but usually comes with third party packages. You can install this font manually.

 

Install Font

Please follow the following steps to install the font "Fences":

  1. Download the font FENCES.TTF which is attached to this bulletin (see below).
     
  2. Make sure you have administrator rights in the Windows environment then open the Control Panel.
     
  3. Double click on the "Fonts" icon and a window comes up with all your installed fonts.
     
  4. Go to the "File" pulldown menu and click "Install New Font..."
     
  5. Go to the path where you downloaded the font FENCES.TTF, select the file and select the line "Fences Regular (True Type)" that comes up in the box "List of Fonts".
     
  6. Click the "OK" button and the font will be installed. There is no need to reboot the machine.

Now when you open up the same screen in the online help, it will look like this:
