Strange font in Message> and messagemodal>

Post by rullbandspelare » Fri Jan 29, 2010 8:53 am

This was no problem before.
But now the text inside message and messagemodal has a strange font and looks bad.

Why is this so and how to fix it?

Thanks!

What I would recommend is to try is comment parts of your script out to see if something is being called that is causing this issue.

I would start by commenting EVERYTHING out except for one of your message commands to see if it still calls up the weird fonts. If it still does, create a fresh script all together just put a simple message command to see if that comes up strange. If it does then it at least tells you it is something beyond the script. Start there and let us know what you find.

Also if you are still having problems, paste your script if you can, that would be helpful

Good Luck

creating a new script with the latest MS version with only on line:

message>This is an example of a strange font in a message

this gives a strange font.

What version of windows are you running? When did you notice this start to happen? Is it only your messages that look off?

Also I would be curious to know if any other of your system messages look weird.

Try this, outside of MS just create a vbs script or file name anything.vbs and put the following in the file

Wscript.echo "This is a test"

That should generate a messagebox using vb. Does that look strange?

I have MS version 11.1.19.
Here is the result from a messagemodal and Your suggested vbs script.

It looks as if this strange font is only on my PC. When I ty it on other PC it is ok. This is good, and therefore not as urgent as i thought.
