i built my image with all the font components. however, when i ran the
installation created by installshield, the installshield dialogs are
not displayed correctly(size is not correct), also the texts on the
dialog buttons are not displayed. i know when i installed very
limited number of fonts, things were working correctly. is this
problem trigger by some font components? if it is, which one?

thanks!

mike,

Assuming you got ALL the font components from database included in your image, I'd suggest you to delete the following key at run
time, reboot the target and see if it helps with the install app:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]

(for the best results it may be better to copy the key content from XP Pro but deleting the key is the first step)
 
KM,

I tried your suggestion. same problem.

thanks

mike,

There is a few problems known related to font issues on XPe.
Again, assuming you got all the font components included (including important ones like MS Seriff, MS Serife) you may want to try to
fix vga*** fonts on your image as well as related reg.entries. You can do that with the SysFonts component from xpefiles.com:

i am not sure what problem is. i just reverted back to my older
version of .slx file with only limited number of font components, and i
have also included SysFont as you suggested. thanks for your help
though.
