How can I select default font?

[PHLN]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how I can select the default font that is being used by the program... There are some non-English titles (Vietnamese for example) that has the symbols and signs, which doesn't show properly... So how can I fix this?

Nữ

That for example... Won't show properly in the program...

The fond used is "MS Sans Serif" I think.
It should display correctly if your computer has Vietnamese as default language settings.

To change the font of objets, open the langage file that you use (.lng file in "Languages" folder) and find lines like that :

Code: Select all

MainWindow.FrmMovie.EMedia.Hint=|Media label, number or barcode

here it assigns the hint displayed in the status bar where the mouse goes over the field

Add a line like this to also assign the font name :

Code: Select all

MainWindow.FrmMovie.EMedia.Font.Name=Comic Sans MS

Code: Select all

MainWindow.FrmMovie.LSubtitles.Caption=Subtitles:

MainWindow.FrmMovie.EMedia.Hint=|Media label, number or barcodes
MainWindow.FrmMovie.EMedia.Font.Name=Tahoma
MainWindow.FrmMovie.EMediaType.Hint=|Media/support type

I have that in my English.lng file... But I still can't properly see Vietnamese texts when I inputted in the fields... I also check.. and was able to view it properly in Notepad, since I had Tahoma Vietnames unicode installed....

Not very good with coding stuff.. So dunno what I am doing wrong...

I found a work-around... What I did was use Microsoft Office to make a HTML file... With the proper unicode texts.. Save it as HTML.. Open it up.. And find the texts I want... Office would convert it to HTML code.. Copy paste that into the database.. Then when I ask it to export to HTML... It display it properly...

Yay

For the HTML export you could also edit the HTML page to put the correct encoding in the <meta> tag at the top of the file.
