Re: Antwort: Fonts settings

Hi Florencia,
if the user (you:-) once has set the font interactively this has precedence over the default 
settings in "locals.tcl".
(You may inhibit that with gui.user.font.choice = false in fglprofile, but I don't treat this a good 
idea)
But initially it's fine to set the following 3 entries in locals.tcl to have a default of your 
choice:

*FglEntry.font: Courier New-Normal-p9
*FglButtonMenu.font: Tahoma-Normal-p9
*FglCanvas.font: Courier New-Normal-p9

If you use the following entry in fglprofile:
gui.config.file="e:/alluser/locals.tcl"
and this is copy of locals.tcl is on a network drive, all users have your defaults.

As already said, if the user once chose a different font (and saved it via System 
Menu->Configuration->Save Cofiguration),
this is saved in his registry and he can only revert to the original configuration by choosing 
System Menu->Configuration->Reset to Defaults which rereads locals.tcl then from the configured 
location.

If you feel that it's necessary that you override the fonts the user already chose in an earlier 
version than you are really forced to clean the users registry items for this (But I really would 
not recommend this).

HTH and
Kind Regards, Leo

Hi All,

Thanks to all that answered this. I've been out of the office last week.

Just checked my "locals.tcl" and I do have an entry :

    *font: Lucida Console-Normal-10

But if I run a program, and check the font settings (using Aladins lamp ...) I have SystemPc 
Style=Normal and Size=9, which reflects in the following Registry entry :

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Four J's Development Tools\Windows Front 
End\Configuration\Fonts\UserFonts]
    "FglEntryF"="SystemPC-Normal-OEM-CHARSET_OEM-p9"

So, my question here, is, how could I send a "default" font setting through the "locals.tcl" file, 
to my new instalations ?

We normally customize the locals.tcl with our defult colors, and we send that to new installations. 
So I'd like to put there our default font setting, so we don't have to manipulate the client PC 
registry. So if I want a default font different than that "Lucida Console" (which I don't know where 
it came from), how can I change it in the locals.tcl ? I couldn't find a way with the "Configuration 
Manager" tool. And if I edit by hand the "locals.tcl" I might corrupt it. Is there a way to do this 
?

Thanks,

Florencia

Hi Folks.

Just my 2 cents:

The fonts are taken (and stored) in locals.tcl or whatever you replace it with in fglprofile.

Only in case the user of the PC overwrites this setting in the PC (using Aladins.lamp and so on) it 
is stored in the local registry.

Hi,

Don't seem to have this (we are still using Windows NT) - we have 'Windows front end', but in that 
folder, all we have is 'Application' not 'Configuration'?

Regards,
Mike.

Hi,

Can you let us know which registry key is affected please - I have done a search but can't find 
anything obvious.

Thanks,
Mike.

Hello,
these settings are saved for each user in the windows registry.

Hi,
When I change the Main font in the Windows Front End, where are those settings saved ?
Can the settings be copied (easily) from one PC to another, without having to set them in every PC ?
Thanks,
Florencia
