stickmanbrad 0 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Guys, So I have installed the airbus all fine. And it works beautifully. Although what I have a problem with is my text. I went on my internet browser and now my text doesn't look the same. It's all messed up. I think this has come up before in the forums but I wasn't sure on a solution. Yes i'm running windows 10. This just happened after installing 1.3.1. Please login to display this image. Hope you can help, Many thanks Bradley Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 3, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 3, 2015 In what order have you installed the buses? The 1.30 had this problem with faulty fonts. You wrote that you have both packages, the A318/A319 and A320/A321. I recommend to install the the A320/A321 again as it comes with fixed fonts. And don't forget to reboot afterwards.

stickmanbrad 0 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 The only aircraft installed was the a320/21 as that's the only one supported on v3 currently. I installed it and it rebooted. I had to remove the fonts manually to get it back working properly. So i'm now going to try and reinstall airbus. But it doesn't look like it's working at the moment. One of these text files below is not working well with my applications. So i'm not sure what to do.

Hi Tom, Just to confirm that it's still got this weird text thing. After installing the airbus again and restarting the fonts they are back in {control panel > Appearance and Personalisation > Fonts}. And I have the weird text issue again. Any ideas?

LarsA 1 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi, the same happened here after the installation of version 1.31 on a "clean" Win10-P3D-System.... Then I tried to install the corrected .ttf from this forum- still no success! How can I repair my system? Thank you very much! Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarsA 1 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 You can find it here (was for Ver. 1.30): http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/97403-airbus-fonts-disrupt-windows-10-browser-font-display/ Post 23! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so I found a post earlier so I thought I would just try this. I do not know what this does nore do I know if this is a solution. That will be for aerosoft to judge. I went to the following folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache then the document "~FontCache-System.dat" I removed that file from the folder. I would recommend just backing up that file before experimenting with this until this is a confirmed to work from experts. As I am not one. And I take NO responsibility for you touching these files and what damage could occur. I'm just saying what I've done. I Then restart my computer this actually made the file regenerate I guess but now my text is back to normal. Avsim staff by me removing this file and regenerating it over restart is this safe? This seemed to fix the internet browser Many thanks Bradley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 3, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 3, 2015 Sorry guys, but for some reason the correct font didn't make it into the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be able to send us the correct font or will you need to completely redo installer? I'm not actually sure if what I've done is safe. I can only hope so..

Chazypax 9 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I had the exact same issue but it wasn't caused by the Airbus. I started noticing that Microsoft Edge, Steam and Google Chrome displayed fonts differently. I figured out what was causing the issue. For me it was something called "Driectwrite". I had to disable this in Chrome and Steam to get the font's to return to normal however Edge is still buggy like yours shown above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted November 3, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted November 3, 2015 This is on the front burner.... As far as I know (and as far as all testers reported) this issue was solved. Yet it seems it this very nasty issue is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 3, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 3, 2015 Did some tests in the last hour and found that only this fu...ng Edge is affected. No problem with IE and Firefox under Windows 10. Only Application based on the rendering engine of Edge are effected: Please login to display this image.

Blinx 17 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 1. Browse to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache 2. Delete "~FontCache-System.dat" if Windows complains it can't delete it because it is in use, just rename it to .old or .bak 3. Reboot (and then delete the .bak if you want to) Windows Edge & Steam Fonts fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_D 40 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Gah. Just also confirming the same for me. Win 10, only A320/1 installed. Steam etc fonts 'broken'. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S_D 40 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I confess that I haven't because it wasn't posted by an Aerosoft guy and I didn't want to risk unintended consequences on the Airbus installation. If it's 'officially sanctioned' I will do it, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_D 40 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 OK I have removed the file and rebooted. Edge is now working correctly, but please note that I haven't run up P3D again yet (bedtime!) nor checked other browsers such as IE or Chrome. I will do so in the morning.

Dave_YVR 5 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I too was having this font issue after installing 1.31 of the A320/321. I had only checked in Firefox, but the fix by Blinx in reply 14 seemed to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solentflyer 3 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Rather than advising customers to perform a hack in the Windows directory (never a good idea!!), would it not be more prudent to advise that Aerosoft will issue a fix for this issue imminently, particularly as it seems it was simply caused by the fact that "for some reason the correct font didn't make it into the installer"?

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 Dear solentflyer, of course AS will provide a fix for this problem. But that takes some time. If there are customers around who don't want to wait so long, they can try that fix (as it has worked for many users, not only yesterday and today, but it has also already proven to work months ago after the release of 1.30).

solentflyer 3 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks Tom. However, I can confirm that the solution offered does not fix the problem with the fonts being corrupted in Aivlasoft EFB. I will now wait for the official fix from Aerosoft.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 Please can you all have a look here and give the provided fix a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solentflyer 3 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Many thanks Tom/Mathijs, can confirm the revised AirbusPFD2 font fixes the display issues in Aivlasoft EFB. Best regards, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 just checked it on my Windows 10 machine and could not found any issue so far. If you see something different please report. In case you use FSX:SE please come back as it needs a special prcedure to replace the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
