Tip of the Day: Changing FBA's System Font

Here's a question that comes up once in a great while from developers of XPe devices:

Question:

"My font during FBA is incorrect. The dialogs are displaying boxes or appears to be random characters and is not readable. Why is this?"

Answer:

See the KB article for # Q98291 on changing 'System fonts'. You can change the system font in Windows NT by editing the Registry. The FONTS.FON value in the following subkey can be changed to the font of your choice, Note: You must enter a font filename with the extension, .FON, in order for this to work:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ GRE_Initialize

What's happened in your runtime's case is that it appears another language added to the configuration is probably overwriting this key when building the runtime from Target Designer and is likely due to a build order issue. This case is pretty rare, the good news is you can offline edit this key by mounting the Software hive from the runtime in your development machine's hive, then unmount it when done.
