Fonts and Standalones

Post by toddgeist » Fri Oct 11, 2013 3:45 pm

I just created a standalone with 6.1.2, and the fonts changed. I don't remember this happening before.

What do I need to do to keep my fonts in line?

Thanks

Todd

The latest version of LiveCode now sets the fonts of a stack to the same ones the IDE uses. (See the release notes.) That means that whatever font was being substituted before by the OS is now going to be what the IDE uses. I suspect that's to prevent surprises for new users who expect their app to look like it does in the IDE. To keep it the way it was, set the font of the stack to the one you're used to. All the objects will inherit that font unless they have their own independent font settings.
