[Serna] Default font in Serna 4 (RC 2)
Folks; We've run across an interesting problem at my company. For Windows installations, Serna style sheets for the WYSIWYG window use Helvetica as the default font. Of course, Helvetica is not a standard font on Windows systems, so somewhere in the system (haven't figured out where) a substitution is carried out (probably to Arial). That's all fine and good if a user doesn't have a Helvetica font package installed. But in our case, many users have an old, non-unicode, Helvetica package installed. Because of this, characters such as Greek symbols aren't displayed properly, nor do all of the glyphs show up in the Insert Symbol... dialog box. Would anyone have a huge problem if Syntext were to update the default Serna style sheets to specify Arial as the default font (at least for Windows installs)? On all recent versions of Windows, an OpenType (unicode) Arial package is included in the base installation. Regards, Bob
