Hi;
My program works well on my own computer but when i test it on another
PC,depending on its Windows version and language,and its code pages and
character map,some text boxes and label captions appears unreadable.So im
looking for a solution to make my program usable on most PCs and
Windowses(like many programs that are designed for use even globally).
In general,which properties of a Control in Access 2k can affect its fonts
and font size appearance and make fonts to appear in another PC in a strong
shape?(i.e Font Name,Left to Right,Key board Language and ....)
Can anyone please help me to solve problem of TextBox and Label Fonts and
FontSizes,when running on another computers?I will be so much grateful to
you.
Thank you in advance.

If you are using fonts that are not standard and are therefore not
installed on all of the target PCs then Windows will make a "best guess" at
which font to substitute (often with poor results). The solution in that
case is to stick with standard fonts and/or distribute the fonts you are
using to the target PCs (assuming you have license to do so).

If the problem is that you are using standard fonts, but some of the target
PCs have their system set up to use "Large Fonts" or a custom size then
there is not much you can do. Although my understanding of that setting is
that it would not affect the fonts in buttons, TextBoxes and Labels so much
as the fonts used in window TitleBars and Menus.
 
Thank you for ur attention;
Although im not using non standard fonts,and i think my problem raises when
i test my program on different Windows language versions,ur first suggestion
is closer to my meaning.Now suppose i wanna put some fonts in my program
Package as dependency files (I use Pkg and deployment wizard 2000 to
distribute my program and run it in Run Time Access).So the fonts need to be
installed on the target machine.Does the executing of Setup.EXE file of my
program install that fonts, together with installing my program?Otherwise
users must be informed and trained to install fonts manually.
And as a better way,isnt there any way to make Access to use unicode
characters when setting texts and captions,and when compiling and reading
them in the target machine?
I will be so much grateful to you if u answer these two questions.And thank
you again for ur help.
