I knewexactly where this was at one time and I have been trying to recall exactlywhich font this is but I’m at a loss. This is not an issue with Builder but anissue with the installed fonts on windows. As I recall, I installed a number ofnew fonts on my machine and Builder went into 8pt. Instead of removing thefonts one-at-a-time I just ripped them all out and that corrected the issue. I’msorry I can’t be of more help but start with any new fonts you’ve recentlyinstalled.

Dear Howard,Thanks for your reply, but......My problem is, that I have this font size (8 pt) since I installed livelink builder. I think this is Sans Serif 8 pt .I have many, many fonts installed, default this was installed with WinXP default install, so I can not remove them!So any other idea could be very useful for meThanks,TiborIf i look in the BUILDER ospace, than it takes the Sans Serif font , but there is no possiblities to change it.

This iscorrect. You cannot change the font specification in Builder. What you need todo is determine which font has been hard-coded into the Builder and thenreplace that font in Windows with something more suitable. I truly wish I couldremember which font it was, but it was a few years ago. I’m training all thisweek but I’ll try to make a bit of time to look at it again.

I foundit!

I’m usingWindows 2000 and so I’m sure they probably changed some of this for xp but hereis where it is on 2000.

Ifyou goto the control panel and select ‘fonts’ you might see the font called ‘Courier10,12,15’ with the file name ‘courf__0.fon’

IfI uninstallthis font then the debug window, debugger window and the script window all become8 pt.

When I reinstallthe font then everything looks okay again. I don’t know much about fonts but I’mattaching the font to this email so you can see if it works with xp. If not,you can try to get the font from some other source.

I hope thisworks.

No, there is nothing happened.I have font 8 pt, i uninstalled the `Courier 10,12,15? , than installed the font which you sent, but ...i have the font 8 pt in Builder :-(I think my buider takes the MsSans Serif ! and i can not change that. From Ms Sans Serif the smallest font size is 8pt, that is what Builder takes.:-( and that is what the problem is.There is no way to change the builder to take another font, and there is no way to uninstall the MS Sans Serif font :-(I think if thera are no other possibilites than I had to buy a bigger Display :-)Tibor

HI,Just back to this builder font problem.I just discovered ,that it can be a win2000 , Xp problem. I tested it on many pc's , with 2000 it works fine, but with xp?!?!Under winxp it is not so good. I mean it is no difference if i install your coure.fon, or i leave the original coure.fon. I always see this horrible little fonts in the builder. I tried to delete fast each fonts from my xp, or add many new fonts, but ther is NO DIFFERENCE. Just try to open(with windows font viewer) your coure.fon file under xp, and under win2000 it is not the same.....i also wonder why, but they are not the same.... Can it be that LL Builed is not 100% compatible with winXP, is there any possibilty to make the font bigger under XP.Thanks,Tibor

Tibor,

I’m verysorry but I know absolutely nothing about XP (and I’d be very happy to keep itthat way). The only suggestion I can offer (and I know it isn’t a great one) isto systematically remove each font one-at-a-time and restart Builder.

<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>

I hopesomeone out there has a better solution as I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Dear Howard,I think this is a platform for Opentext CUSTOMER SUPPORT and LiveLink builder is a softwer from Opentext, isn't it?I have problems wiht builder under XP and not with XP. So you do not have to know anything about XP...but somebody should tell me any solution how to work with LL Builder under XP. I did not find anywhere that LL Builder is not compatible with XP, or XP is not supported os.Can you please do me a FAVOUR and have a Look on a Builder on a PC where XP is the OS. You must somewhere have a PC with XP. I tried to install it on many xp pc's but there was always the same problem: too small fonts.I think it is not a very good idea to remove some, or each fonts from any OS beacuse it can make many malfunction to the system and other programs.Thanks,Tibor

With three years this problem hasn't be solved?Can anyone get their XP to show bigger font for LLBuilder?It's quite desperate...

Hi Taavi,

A lot of Builder is written in OScript so it's possible to look at the source to see how it works. Regarding Builder's font I came up with this little script:

FindWindow (Vis.gDesktop())

function FindWindow (Vis v)

    if v.pkind == 15
        echo ('Font face/size:', v.pFont, '/', v.pFontsize)
        // v.pFontsize=15
    end

    Vis subwindow
    for subwindow in v.pKids
        findWindow (subwindow)
    end

end

If you run this in Builder you can see the current font settings. If you uncomment the assignment above you'll see the font size change.

If you find this script handy you could put it in Builder's Tool menu; or incorporate it into your startup lxe file to always execute it.

Disclaimers: This is completely unsupported, and uses the undocumented Vis package. I'm in no way part of Open Text product development.
