Comic letters at the screenrule with V5.6 and WIN10

Post by RuudvdMR »

Hello,
I am a long time user of Smartie, i use it with a Arduino serial LCD display. And it works nice.
I was glad to see that there is a new software version available.
And this version works also with my screen. But:
I see ONLY comic letters on my edit rule, see the picture.
When i copy text from my old SW version, i see the right text on the display, but not on the edit rules in the screen tab.
What do i wrong?
Is there a wrong font active? can i change this font?
This is the picture:

Oh!
I had a similar issue in the past, unfortunatelly we didn't found a solution on this.
Try to install the modern font
modern.zip
to your system (if it is missing) and restart the system.
Does this help?

Sorry, it dit not work, but it must have something to do with the chosen font in the program.
The modern.fon works not on Win10 anymore.
I have chosen for another modern.ttf file, i have uploaded to win10, but this also not work.
But i am not sure if it is the right file font file, used in the program.
Do you know witch fontfile is needed for Smartie software?
You can also not rename the file because the FONT name is also a part of the software.
Can it be changed? or more simple to upload the right one. Do you know how...
Thanks for your time for it.
