Hi All,

Any idea how I can discover which fonts an application uses? I have been
told by the developer that it uses arial fonts but having added all of these
to our build the correct fonts dont seem to be displayed (ssem to be
substituted for a much smaller font).

Any ideas?

Is there any way to use depandancy walker for this?

Thanks

Peter

I would think FileMon from Sysinternals would be of more use - it should
show you exactly which files the application accesses.
 
When accessing registered fonts you don't necessarily see attempts to load the fonts file (e.g., font is not registered at all).

Peter, if you are seeing one font being replaced by some other, you may want to check what entries you've got under
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes] key. For testing purposes I'd even recommend you to delete the
key at run time, reboot and try the app.
