Broken font by Tuplad on 06-17-2007 at 08:40 AM
Hey,
I've just downloaded the latest MSG Plus version, started installing it and got a broken font. I don't have the screenshot of the setup, but I do have the screenshot of an other window which looks exact the same.
What do I do ? All MSG Plus windows are like that.

Do you have Tahoma.ttf installed on your computer? As far as I know, Messenger Plus!'s default font is Tahoma.
RE: Broken font by Tuplad on 06-17-2007 at 09:05 AM
Yes, I have TAHOMA.TTF in C:\Windows\Fonts.

*bump*

Messenger Plus! uses SegoeUI not Tahoma, so please look in your Fonts folder.

Thanks, found it

But it still doesn't work though

I don't have SegoeUI in my Fonts folder, yet my MsgPlus! windows are displayed perfectly.
Tuplad, you'd better write your OS here.
In fact, the problem is not only related with fonts, but also note that texts in buttons aren't displayed. Also your MsgPlus! windows are enlarged interestingly.

Hmm, I got a few questions for you mate,
1. Do you have "MS Sans Serif"?
2. Is your font's type "ClearType"?
3. Have you changed the original Windows font?
Best regards.

Sorry for the very late response, but...
I have Windows XP SP2.
KatieScarlett:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes (to Calibri, somewhen).

Tuplad, your problem is being discussed on this thread in a more detailed way. Though, there is only discussion there, people couldn't find any solution yet.

Segoe UI is only used in the Messenger Plus! logo and in parts of the website, but the software only uses the default Ms Shell Dialog font, which is IIRC always mapped to Tahoma.
(Sorry for the post on an old thread, but since it was linked to on a recent thread I want to prevent someone with this problem to think it could be related to not having Segoe installed)
