Hi,
I am a Mac user, and I am making a cross-platform application. I know I can use the font "System" in RB to get both the Mac and Windows system fonts, however I want to know the exact name of the Windows system font. Because I am making a splash screen in paint program that doesn't have access to the RB font "System". If I can't access it in MacOS I will use a PC Emulator to do so.

This font is different on the different Windows versions and it is user setable. Of course I have a function called SystemFontMBS in my plugins, but you may better go with something using a special font which is everywhere installed. (or a list of fonts where you select the first one which is installed) Gruß Christian |

On my XP machine, it is Tahoma. I have no idea what it is elsewhere, or
how it may be affected by user themes. Brian Heibert wrote: > Hi, > > I am a Mac user, and I am making a cross-platform application.
