Maps problem (fix)

[mt007]

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 .
Regards.

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?

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?

[Andy Frost]

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.

[tarbat]

Andy, a couple that are missing from your list that I've got are the MS Sans Serif and Serif fonts - sserife.fon and serife.fon.

Hi,
i have used too "Terminal" and size 8 and the problem stay.
I dont understand why, maybe RB code was corrupted, i dont know.

[tarbat]

i have used too "Terminal" and size 8 and the problem stay.

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.

[AirNav Support]

Good question, I have no idea :)

Try a reinstall.

We will investigate.

[Andy Frost]

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.

I have the same problem, with the little square box.
