Font displays symbols instead of the actual intended
font
If strange symbols or the "symbol" font is being displayed instead
of the actual intended font, one of the following has most likely occurred:
- The actual intended font is no longer installed on the system. Check the
active fonts to make sure it is installed and operational. In Windows, this is
accomplished by going to Control Panel - Fonts. Then double click on the font to
view it.
- A document or form that had the actual intended font on it was opened in edit
mode on a computer that did not have the actual intended font
installed on it. If this happens, the "symbol" font is selected as the
font type and when the form is saved, the symbol font will appear instead of the
intended font. For example, a developer creates a form in Visual Basic that has
the MICR font selected. It is saved to a network drive and then another
developer opens the form, but does not have that particular MICR font installed
on his PC. Visual Basic will then select the next closest font which is the
symbol font to display the information. When the form is saved, it is saved
with the symbol font instead.
- If problems persist, use the non-symbol encoded versions of IDAutomation fonts.
If symbol encoded
fonts were provided, they are placed in a separate folder of the zip file. Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code 128 are usually provided as
symbol encoded fonts.
The IDAutomation fonts that are dated July 2003, and later, have been
created without symbol encoding and also include the new OpenType fonts.
