No fonts show up

No font directory

The font files cannot be found because it is not specified where to find them. By default, the fonts used in a display scheme will be in the <display-scheme-directory>\Fonts directory. Go to the font settings for Replay / Composer and add the font directory.

Fonts have not been sent

By default, DISE Bridge sends the font files with the destination, and they end up in the Fonts directory. Go to the File options tab in the destination preferences dialog and make sure Send font files is checked.

Data connected text

It could be that no text is showing because the data connected file is not located on the player. Make sure to copy the file or otherwise make the data connection work.

Bold and/or Italic does not work

If a bold or italic version of the font does not exist, it may not be rendered. You can synthesize it yourself with this two features (found in the Font details dialog):

  • For italic, choose X-desqew with a negative value.
  • For bold, choose effect "emboldening" with a small value (1 or 2) and optionally a little extra "Char spacing".

Other font issues

You can take a look in the Font engine logfile that is created during Replay / Composer startup to locate issues when loading font files.
