ALPHA-VISION® AbvBrowser: Fonts |
Fonts
SUMMARY
The program makes fonts available on the PC ready for use with the AbvEditor.CONTENTS
Introduction
Via that subprogram available fonts are selected and defined for the use
within the current project.
Thereby any defined font gets a unique name and a unique ID; via the ID the
font is identified within the system.
Note:
Should the runtime used on other PCs too, it has to be taken care that the
defined fonts are available on those PCs also.(The same font on different language variants may cause image problems.)
Calling up the program
It is done via the pull down menu 'File' of the 'AbvBrowser' and mouse click
to the item ‘Fonts…'
A similar dialog window is opened:
The first column refers to the Font-ID, the second one to the font name.
Possible actions via the buttons

| Ok | Saves new/modified objects and closes the window. |
| Cancel | Closes the window without saving any changes (same as the "close window" button in the right upper corner) |

| Edit | The marked font is opened |
| Delete | The marked font is deleted |
