Ivan Rogers 0 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello Mathjis, I am afraid the C4 gauge problem has come back in not showing the text. I have narrowed it down to this update. "2017-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4016871)" When I removed this update and re-booted the computer and loaded the Discus the C4 gauge was showing the text correctly.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 21, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted May 21, 2017 How odd, I see nothing in that update that could affect it and so far you are the only one affected. But thanks for the info, our support will now keep en eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Rogers 0 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi Mathijs, As w10 updates are mandatory, I keep getting this issue. I think I have got around this by installing the full font set from another w10 PC. Having installed the fonts and rebooted all seems OK again. What is the actual font the C4 gauge uses? It would be useful to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 22, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted May 22, 2017 These are the fonts that should be in the FSX fonts folder. They do NOT need to be installed into Windows. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Rogers 0 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi Mathijs, I have the first 3 fonts installed in FSX/Fonts but not the last two. LCD_MONO.ttf LCD_MONO_italic.ttf I did a re-install of the gliders over the weekend and it has not installed these two fonts. Would be able to send these two fonts to me Thanks.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 23, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted May 23, 2017 Send it to you talktalk address. But a Windows update that prevents a from from installing in the FS font folder? That sounds very very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Rogers 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hello Mathijs, Thank you for the fonts, I installed the full set into FSX/Fonts. I am afraid I still cannot see any alpha/numeric characters on the C4. I am resigned to the fact that something on the w10 operating system side is preventing these fonts being read in properly. Very strange as I have never had a problem at all over the last 3 years or so. Edit: Just excluded my whole FSX folder in Windows Defender rebooted and the C4 now working. I'll have another check tomorrow to see if this has fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 24, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted May 24, 2017 There is something very weird on your Windows setup. Defender should NEVER prevent a font from being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Rogers 0 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 HI Mathijs. No it was not defender as the next itme I loaded up the PC, I still had the same problem. I am resigned to the fact that MS windows I believe in some way is preventing the gauge showing properly, and the only way to cure it to do a repair the op system, a process I am not relishinging as all the programs will be wiped from th eC drive in the process. Thanks in the meantime for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in the meantime for your help. I have the same problem. The C4 fonts don't display any more. It did work for a while in W10 creators edition and suddenly stopped next time I came to fly the ASK21. I think it is a font issue. It is also broken for the DiscusX line. I'm not sure what to do.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 30, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 30, 2017 You should make sure that be totally up to date with your Windows updates, as Windows 10 had a bug in ots font management lately, which has been fixed in the meantime again.

HarryO 4 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Tom thank you! I updated to latest version of W10 creators just now and all is working again with the C4. Much appreciated because I would not have thought it would be an issue considering the C4 was working under windows creators edition up to the last few days.

HarryO 4 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Just in case people aren't sure how to fix this Microsoft bug, here is the "official" workaround guide. Microsoft say they will officially fix this with the next major update but not until then and the incremental updates still contain the bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4038303/fonts-installed-by-using-install-as-shortcut-are-missing-after-a-syste I personally use workaround 2. Cheers, all the best out there in the cruel world of bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
