Fonts differences among PCs but same mathcad 15

Hi All!

On two PCs I installed mathcad 15 (on one OS Win 7, on the other OS Win 10) and on another mathcad 14 (OS win xp sp3). Among the one and the others I find differences in the fonts. For example in one's French MT script, while in the other there isn't. So it is obvious that importing programs from one to another there are changes. How do I avoid this?

Thank you very much

F. M.

There are certain fonts installed by Mathcad, and identified as such: Mathcad Unimath is one of them.

But those fonts are available to ALL applications installed on the same machine.

So within Mathcad you can also use fonts common to Windows (Times New Roma, Calibri, etc.), additionally installed by MsOffice, or any other application.

Make sure that you set up the normal.mct (template) with fonts (for text, variables and constants, etc) that are supported on all your windows versions, and use that same normal.mct with each installation of Mathcad.

Then you may have to make sure that the same printer (type) is installed on each of the machines.

Success!

You should give precise indications with some images of the panels to be opened. The printer is unique, but I can not modify anything. Within the same worksheet I need different fonts.

on a PC they are present and on the other not.

I assumed, considering that you installed Mathcad on those machines, you'd be capable of finding out which fonts are available on all your machines.

Screen shots? How about:

Some software will install additional fonts, for example drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. Fonts can also be installed individually. You can get French Script MT here, for free: http://ufonts.com/download/french-script-mt/27233.html

I notice a big resemblance between the font names belonging to mathcad and  the font names of  Paint in windows and that  that I use very often. I don't think that what you suggest is useful or convenient. I would like to stay within mathcad.

Thank you
