lost font

[oldman]

Hi all


I had to reinstall Wildfire2 on my computer. Now when I go into my drawings, I have lost my companys required font in the list of standard fonts for my drawings. I have found the font I need in Windows, but I can't seem to get it into my drawings. Help?

Add pro_font_dir to your config.pro and set it to the folder where you have yourwindows fonts.

Thanks for the help.


Could you give me an example of how I type in the path. I have tried to enter different settings in my config.pro before with no luck.

I got it to work. I entered the pro_font_dir as follows: C:/windows/fonts.


I then opened my drawings and clicked on the font I wanted to change. The list of options was there.


My problem is when I close out of ProE and reopen it. My config.pro is empty. How do I save my settings?

 

[ankarl]

in your pro/E installation folder theres a folder called "text" there you'll find the default config.pro. Changes to that file will be loaded everytime you launch pro/e.


A safer place (safer from system admins...) is to save your personal config.pro in your startup directory of pro/e. Then it will load after the default config is loaded (and overwrite default settings if same options exist in both files)


regards


Anders

it's all ok of ankarl's replay.
the file config.pro is very important pro/e
if you need one,here is mine,you can save it in a text and then ren it as name as"config.pro",save it to your TEXT folder.
Good luck
