Font control

[ron G]

I am using FM 12 04 advanced on Windows.

 

I created a report that uses 10 pt Verdana font.  But, when I distribute the report to a user, when he runs the report it looks like 16pt TImes Roman.  Huh?

 

Is there someway to 'force install' a font on a user machine?  Or is there some other source to explain this phenomena?

 

Thanks

I just heard from the user and DOES have Verdana installed on his PC.  Is this weird or what?!

Is his machine a mac or win?

Is his machine a mac or win?

Like mine, his too is running Windows 7.

[Lee Smith]

Wow, is Verdana installed on his window machine?

Use only fonts that are installed by default on both Mac and Windows. Arial is a solid choice.

 

Note that MS Office installs a large number of fonts, these are cross platform, but consider that not everybody has MS Office.
