* FH and Crossover - Set Window Fonts in Plugins

[gerrynuk]

The option to select the font and font sizes works OK with standard fonts such as Arial but I seem to have accumulated some fonts beginning with "@" and these can produce odd behaviour, such as the plugin window expanding to the width of the screen and text disappearing from the buttons. Can the list of fonts be limited to TrueType and System fonts to avoid selecting non-standard fonts?

On a general point, hovering over a button or certain text in the plugin window can either produce a blank, black tooltip or a flashing tooltip.

The actual Font selection popup uses a predefined IUP GUI dialogue, and cannot be adapted.
I don't think the dialogue even identifies whether Fonts are TrueType or System or not.
Just like most applications I am aware of, it is up to the user to choose Fonts sensibly.

The Plugin automatically expands its window to accommodate large Fonts, up to the size of the screen, but beyond that some text may start to vanish.

Can you start another thread regarding the Tooltips - perhaps it is another Problem Report for Crossover since they should be standard Windows Tooltips.

I'm sure I have seen the Font window with a selector to show only TT fonts. Maybe it is no longer available to developers.

The problem with some of the fonts wasn't the size of the font but the nature of the font - i.e. not TT or System. The dialogue does identify TT fonts but not sure what the the other symbol is and some have no symbol:

I'll start a new thread here for the ToolTip problem - did you want me to do the same on the Crossover forum?

Unfortunately there are no such options in the predefined IUP GUI Font dialogue.
Since the chosen Font is demonstrated immediately in the main GUI, it should be easy to choose an alternative, even if the button titles are illegible.
