Howdy,
I use P9 with XP...
I needed a fixed pitch font for certain things I was doing
in Paradox, and settled on one called Andale Mono.
The only thing about it that did not work well was the
design of the "0" (the Zero.)
It had a dot in the center, and with my tired eyes, that
could be taken for an "8."
So, I used a font editing tool, to remove the dot... Easy
enough...
Today, I noticed that phone numbers seemed to be showing the
dot again.
On more careful study though, it turns out to be something
else:
Using Andale Mono ten point bold, at 100% zoom, causes the
Zero to appear with a "blob" coming in to the center from
the left. At 200% zoom, the Zero looks perfect. When I
return to 100%, the blob comes back. (And, I should add, it
is not trivial in size. It really makes the Zero look like
an Eight,
Next, I tried adding a text entry to the form with a string
of zeros. They looked fine, until I ran the form. Then, they
had the "blob."
Finally, I tried all this with a new blank form, and the
font displays properly whatever I try. So, the problem does
seem to be with the particular form.
Might you have a guess about what could cause this sort of
thing? And short of rebuilding the form, might there be
something I could do to correct the problem?
Many thanks,
