mhm...i was playing around this earlier tonite, but not having much luck..was going to give up, but BoCo's thread about the 'Ok' button inspired me....
neways -
the reg entry is this -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"MS Shell Dlg"="Microsoft Sans Serif"
"MS Shell Dlg 2"="Tahoma"
(btw, them's are .FON and .TTF respectively)
What i want to do *ideally* is change to the font i use for eveything else, which is a Type 1 font.
So far i've tried -
1. changing the keys to the Type 1 font. No workie.
2. Converting the T1 to TTF. (using FontLab). looked like shit.
3. Converted the T1 to open type. looked better in the sample, but still didn't work when i changed the regkeys.
Sooo...what i wonder is -
Font File type - does this matter and can either .ttf or .fon work for either of the keys....or?
Converting - working on obtaining a prog called TransType (made by FontLab company) that assumably will do a good conversion..
but still not sure, if i should bother with conversion, or just find a font that i like almost as much, that already exists as .ttf/.fon...?
Thanks for any help
