Incompatible font

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   CodeJock changed Codejock.ttf so that it is now incompatible with the font used in 20.1 and earlier. So, now I have an issue. It turns out that there are other applications besides the one I work on that use CodeJock. If a user installs one of them that uses a version of CodeJock that has the font that is incompatible with ours, one of the applications displays the UI incorrectly. For example, see the image below where the expand/flyout element becomes a "1". User's can reverse the order of the installation of such apps to break one or the other.

How is this being handled by other applications being built using CodeJock?

	My solution was to rename the font files (to reflect that they are different versions) and then embed them into my application resources. I load the font from resources during InitInstance (using AddFontMemResourceEx).
