Question

What is the correct way of installing an NDX font?

I get really confused about this, it should be as simple to put the font to the load point of the font folder? 
The one where config.pro points with the pro_font_dir? I have it all set up
magyar_iso30985font.ndx
hu_latin_1.fnt
hu_ascii.fnt

The ndx contains the fnt names:
hu_ascii.fnt
hu_latin_1.fnt

The font is loaded, but where the hungarian (ő for example) char should be shown, there is only squares like this:

The font is proper, and was working before, any ideas?

Hi,

testing procedure follows:

1.]

Add following line at the end of parametric.psf file

ENV=PRO_LANG=english

english keyword is related to usascii directories.

2.]

Save magyar_iso30985font.ndx into Common Files\text\usascii directory (it contains other ndx files)

Example ... E:\PTC\Creo10_060\Creo 10.0.6.0\Common Files\text\usascii

I think you will have to add 3rd line into your ndx file ... open font.ndx and look at its contents

ascii.fnt
special.fnt
latin_1.fnt

3.]

Save your fnt files into Common Files\x86e_win64\text\usascii directory (it contains other fnt files)

Example ... E:\PTC\Creo10_060\Creo 10.0.6.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\text\usascii

    Hey Martin,

     

    Thanks for the info, but it does not work.

     

    I can see the NDX(in Creo UI), and IF i remove the .fnt files from the usacii folder, I get a message that the font can't be loaded so it seems everything is at the right place. My problem presist though.

    What you are saying about the 3nd line would make sense, but for example the 

    C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 12.4.0.0\Common Files\text\usascii\font3d.ndx only have 2 lines. ALSO this font was working before! And it does work on another PC for some odd reason. 

     

    The env variable is set.

     

    Any more idea?
