Hi Miguel

I think this may be a font problem - try changing your font (Files...Preferences) to Verdana and see what happens.

Hi Miguel
Goto  Map>Aviation signs>Station Labels there are 3 options : Identifier,Name & Box. Make sure that Box is not ticked and this should remove the box from around the station name

Hope this helps

Dave,

It's not the box around the station labels Miguel is complaining about. If you look very carefully you will see a little square at the end of the waypoint names. I think a change of typeface may cure it.

Sorry about that I didn't really notice that until I looked again. Other than what has already been suggested I can't help

Just try zooming in, and I think you may find that the boxes change to the runway layouts for the airfields in question.

I have just checked this with the batch in North Yorks - having viewed boxes when on a scale that shows England from EGNV to EGPD as the North South range.
When I move the map south I get boxes at EGXD, EGXU UK11, EGXE  Zoom in and the runway layouts appear.

It's the little boxes at the end of the waypoint names he's complaining about, not the one's around the airport labels.

I am not getting the problem here, but I am using Arial and Western Script.

What are you using, as in some script & Font sets the Block is used to indicate an unprintable character.   
Could your sript be showing a Space character for some reason?

Hi.
I have the same problem :(
No idea how to remove them!
Also tried other fonts but the small annoying square was there all the time like now.

This is starting to sound like a language setting - can you guys in Portugal try an experiment, and change your Control Panel Regional and Language Options to "English United Kingdom", assuming it's "Portugese (Portugal)" at the moment.

While this would not be an ideal solution, if it works it will give AirNav somethng to work on!

Tried to change the language setting as suggested: no effect. the square sits there as a rock!

Hi,
in others versions of RB this problem not exist.
But in this version, last one, yes the problem is as can you see in image.
No idea too .

I like Miguel and Manuel also see a small square at the end of each of my waypoint names.

I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and my Regional and Language Options are:
Regional Options: English (United kingdom)
Location: United Kingdom
Advanced: English (United kingdom)

The only non-UK thing about my computer is the keyboard which is Swedish and just as a check I've changed that to UK rebooted and restarted and still get small squares at the end of my waypoint names.

Changing the font and/or font size on my RadarBox 2.0 from Files/Preferences only affects the aircraft labels not the waypoint labels. I am guessing that RadarBox is trying to use a default font here that we don't have and picking up another font instead. I've got quite a few fonts in my \Windows\Fonts directory as follows:

ANTQUAB.TTF, ANTQUABI.TTF, ANTQUAI.TTF, arial.ttf, arialbd.ttf, arialbi.ttf, ariali.ttf, ARIALN.TTF, RIALNB.TTF, ARIALNBI.TTF, ARIALNI.TTF, ariblk.ttf, BKANT.TTF, BOOKOS.TTF, BOOKOSB.TTF, BOOKOSBI.TTF, BOOKOSI.TTF, comic.ttf, comicbd.ttf, cour.ttf, courbd.ttf, courbi.ttf, couri.ttf, estre.ttf, framd.ttf, framdit.ttf, GARA.TTF, GARABD.TTF, GARAIT.TTF, gautami.ttf, georgia.ttf, georgiab.ttf, georgiai.ttf, georgiaz.ttf, glassga.ttf, lobalMonospace.CompositeFont, GlobalSansSerif.CompositeFont, GlobalSerif.CompositeFont, GlobalUserInterface.CompositeFont, GOTHIC.TTF, GOTHICB.TTF, GOTHICBI.TTF, GOTHICI.TTF, HATTEN.TTF, impact.ttf, kartika.ttf, latha.ttf, LCD.TTF, lsans.ttf, lsansd.ttf, lsansdi.ttf, lsansi.ttf, lucon.ttf, l_10646.ttf, maian.ttf, maiandb.ttf, mangal.ttf, micross.ttf, modern.fon, MTCORSVA.TTF, mvboli.ttf, nina.ttf, ninab.ttf, nwgthc.ttf, pala.ttf, palab.ttf, palabi.ttf, palai.ttf, quartz.ttf, raavi.ttf, roman.fon, script.fon, shruti.ttf, sylfaen.ttf, symbol.ttf, tahoma.ttf, tahomabd.ttf, times.ttf, timesbd.ttf, timesbi.ttf, timesi.ttf, trebuc.ttf, trebucbd.ttf, trebucbi.ttf, trebucit.ttf, tunga.ttf, verdana.ttf, verdanab.ttf, verdanai.ttf, verdanaz.ttf, vrinda.ttf, webdings.ttf, wingding.ttf, WINGDNG2.TTF, WINGDNG3.TTF, wst_czec.fon, wst_engl.fon, wst_fren.fon, wst_germ.fon, wst_ital.fon, wst_span.fon, wst_swed.fon

Maybe someone who doesn't have small squares at the end of their waypoint labels can spot a font that is missing?

Post by: CoastGuardJon on March 09, 2009, 11:13:00 PM

Hi Andy, I don't get the square, Font shows as "Terminal" and size 8 - I don't if this is what you're after?

Title: Re: Maps problem (fix)
Post by: Andy Frost on March 10, 2009, 08:42:10 AM

Yes Jon that's the font I had as default in Files/Preferences and which after some experimentation I have returned to using when still getting small squares with other fonts. It is the default font used by RadarBox I believe.

In listing my fonts above I wondered if those who don't see the small squares might see a fairly common font listed in their \Windows\Fonts directory that myself, Miguel and Manuel don't have which we maybe should have. A simpler solution perhaps is just for AirNav Support to tell us which font is used to draw the waypoint labels.

Used where?  Changing the font setting in Radarbox doesn't change the font used to display airport names, etc.  It only changes the font used for the aircraft details.

Maybe Airnav can explain what font is being used for airport names, fixes, etc.

Good question, I have no idea :)

Try a reinstall.

We will investigate.

Title: Re: Maps problem (fix)
Post by: Andy Frost on March 10, 2009, 11:12:16 AM

Tarbat, thanks for your font list. On further investigation it appears that I do have the two fonts you mention but, for reasons unknown, they were marked as hidden and so not showing in a directory listing. Unfortunately removing the hidden attribute and restarting RadarBox didn't affect the display problem. I suspect we will be wiser when Support find out which font is being used for waypoint labels.
