Font Problems with CommManager and Cube - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi U all !!
I have a really bad problem...
After using a custom font for phonealarm (a digital kind one ... for the clock) and copied it to "fonts" subdirectory... for any kind of reason now CommManager and one of the pages of the cube is now using that font ... But the really strange and anoying thing is that if i remove that font commmanager and cube keeps using an "inexistent" font ... and there is no way to restore as it was before ...
I read 2 solutions in this forum .... :
- Copying verdana font from win pc to WM font directory ... It does not work...
- Hard Reset ... But this is not a solution since after installing phonealarm with my custom skin it will happend the same again ...
Any idea please ??
TY !

This seems to be a bug in at WM. It's well known to the people who use rlToday.
If you move the font from the '\windows\font' folder to '\windows' it will fix the problem with the comm manager, but Cube will still be the same.
(You can't actually move them, you have to rename them, then delete them. Changes aren't effective until a soft reset.)
This problem also affects some of the fonts in the scrabble clone XWORDS.
It'd be great to find a fix for this.

Hello !!
Ty for the answer but as i said if i remove the font ... comm manager and cube KEEPS using it ... no matter if the font is in .../fonts or directly in /windows/ since even deleting it ... nothing changes ... it keeps using the font ... so i imagine this font is well cached eith "other name" in any unknown location ...
Any idea Please !?

Please since this is affecting many people why dont we descover a solution ?? would be great for for a lot of people ... and of course for me ...
See U !

That's it...the problem is this program,i had the same problem and after some hard reset i found the solution...uninstall that program and enjoy your calendar link...
Byeeee
I've also installed the mod for enabling background on all tabs and since then the calendar link on the home tab stopped working..
EDIT:
This fix seems to be working for other people, haven't tried it myself though..

Yup that did the trick.. Though I had to copy the file manually, the cab give and error that I dont have permission to overwrite the files. I tried to edit it with Wince CaB Manager but dont see and option regarding perms. So must be a policy in the registry, anybody know off hand what it is and what to change it to to allow the cab to work.

Languge / Wallpaper Problem after installing "Dirty Paper"!

After hours of searching .. and trying nearly everything ... I'm Still facing some problems with the famous "Dirty Paper" Theme:
As the Theme was originally intended for the Diamond I have extracted the Graphics and copied them over by Hand (Total Commander). Also the the upgrade for Call Log, Calendar and Comm Manager worked just fine.
But ...
I didn't manage to make the Wallpaper valid for all Tabs
The Language was changed to "French" at the weather panel - this happened probably during the installation of the theme the first time over the config Tool (after that I have realised that it has the size of the Diamond Screen) - so I have restored the original (also over the TF3D Config Tool) ...
I allredy have installed the Icone Demarrer.cab und copied the shellres.192.dll.0c07.mui (German Austria - renamed), softresetted, ... but still - French
Any ideas what I could try next?
THX in advance!
Markus
hi,
i have try the same theme and i had the same problems.
i think is caused by a different Manila vesion.
if you like the graphics, just copy the icon that you need and it will work fine.
i know is not a prefect solution, but at least you can have a new icon sets.
ciao

Remap touch flo today's softkeys

Hello, i wanted to install like my previous diamond the action screen, but the cab remap the softkey only in today's screen without changing the softkey with touchflo actived.
Is there a way with some tool or editing some register value to remap those softkeys in touchflo?
I think Manila2DConfig will help you.
There are options about remap the softkey in today's screen.

Thank you mate! It worked perfectly!!
@ wojtekml
is that a forum site? or an installer? could you upload it here coz the site that you have given is block here (saudi arabia)... tnx in advance
henzxy pay attention using that software, because i think that is for a previous version of manila 2d and tweaking some parameter cause manila to crash ( that's not a problem 'cause u have just to restore the previous ones).
But now i've encounted a bigger problem like opera doesn't open anymore from the internet tab ( still works if launched from launcher tab) and i've just resetted it; not so bad since the internal storage is nearly empty ^^

You must install Registry Editor (regedit.Mrln_ARM)and find this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
If You have there OperaEXEFile you can change manually patch to opera.exe file (that opera from the internet tab)
If you don`t have there OperaEXEFile you must create a "string" value named OperaEXEFile and add patch to location of your opera.exe file.
Ps. Sorry for my english

This is a .cab file. There are 2 files. You can manually from google download that files.
They called:
- M2DC_v0.29.235.CAB
- Manilla2D-DevTools_v0.2.22.CAB
Just cut and paste to google

Huge Font Size When Reading SMS, but ok elsewhere

Hi Guys,
I was playing with my HD2 last night when I received SMS, I tapped it to view it but the font size became so large that the writing overlaps.
When I type SMS the font size is ok and when looking at emails the size is fine, its just when u tap an incoming sms the size goes huge, and adivice or help?
I tried searching the forum or htc website but cant seem to see anything..
Thanks
Have you tried adjusting the font size? When viewing messages you can change the font size by clicking on Menu>Text Size.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
When I go to the SMS menu (where you can switch between directories : incoming, sent, trash) : the font is huge.
Except this problem all other font sizes are OK.
I've tried to search in the registry, but no lukc.
I've tried to change the font size in the parameters, even a soft reset : no effect on this huge SMS font.
I can try to send a picture to show the problem.
Thanks for any help !
Hello,
here is a picture of the problem.
On every other else apps, the fonts are OK...
It happened to me too lately, but reinstalling one of the SMS patches repaired it. Unfortunately, I can't remember, which one (07567 or 8007).
Pls. note that patches can be reinstalled only if you set the appropriate values under "HKLM\drivers\builtin\hotfix" to and earlier date. I set all of them to "20091119-00" before reinstall and it worked fine. Checking my registry afterwards shows that the value called "Messaging_Client_Version" is updated to "20100112-00" so you should run the patch that is related to that one.
Good luck! Z
Hello zoltansz,
thanks a lot for your help !
I tried to reinstall the 8007 patch and it works !
I didn't know waht values to change in registry in order to be able to reinstall this patch.
Thanks again for your help !
Do you think that it would be safer to reinstall the other patch 7567 or I don't need to do that ?
Hi !
I can't seem to find the path you indicated... looks like there's no "hotfix" in "built in" registry...
can you help me please ???
Thx
up ???
No one has any news ???
I'm desperate here....
Hi again !!!
I can't believe that no one has an answer on that issue..... i'm on rom 1.66 and i can't reload previous hotfix on sms, but can't find the path to HKLM/drivers/builtin/hotfix...
What should i do ??? how can i read my sms again ???
UP please help !!!!
Do a hard reset, that should fix it.
Just did a hard reset to install the rom 1.66... and that caused the trouble... not sure it will help...
Well, I have the same problem, but have the 1.66 official ROM, and the 8007 patch won't install because it says the version is incompatible (the 1.66 ROM supposedly has all the previous patches included).
I tried searching the registry for the specified "HKLM\....\hotfix" key, and it's not there either.
So, any additional ideas to overcome this problem ?

post the fonts let me take a look.
Thanks The actual characters I am after are at: 10d0-10fb. I've playing with this for a while. Actually what I did, was copy the sylfaen.ttf into one of the first WP7 images for HD2, tweaked some registry and recoocked the ROM. But this did not work. After several failures I quit trying hoping that MS would eventually add Georgian letter support to OS. But with all this new updates, support for Georgian letter is still missing. So, if you could help I and probably all the Georgian language community would appreciate your help.
Its gona be a bit of a hastle I think! with not much of a change altho its worth looking in to because I would'nt mind useing some other fonts on my system.
You can view the fonts on your phone useing touchexperiance
On your pc just open touchexperiance and open the file browser
Next go down the the section of files that start with S and you will see 9 fonts
segoeui.ttf
segoeuib.ttf
SegoWP.ttf
SegoWP-Black.ttf
SegoWP-Bold.ttf
SegoWP-Light.ttf
SegoWP-Semibold.ttf
SegoWP-Semilight.ttf
seguisym.tff
Im gessing replaceing the one's that says segoeui.ttf & segoeuib.ttf would be a good one's to try with.
Anyway im not sure what font is used buy the system or where you could change teh directory posibbly in shell Not sure?
The fonts might be overrideable or unmoveable not sure?
Some of the fonta are defenetly made strickly for windows phone 7
But you might beable to rename your font and usse it as a system font but agin not sure?
This might requre a custom update or a cooked in rom to use not sure!
The file you sent me was alredy instaled on my PC.
The fonts are digitaly sined by microsoft so im not sure if useing a diffrent one would break the system updates or if its even posible to modify without bulding a custom rom
In all honisty in order to do it and make it look right you would need 9 new versions of sylfaen.ttf
If I end up cooking my owen rom I will defenetly be trying to use custom fonts
but for now I have other projects im trying to finnish
If you want to look in to any of the things I mentioned & report back to let us know that would be good keep at it im sure you will figure it out if you dotn let us know whare you are stuck!
I know thats dose'nt help much but maby you have an idia about ware to start depending how bad you want them.
Puting together a nice pack of 9 fonts all the same that match orignals wouldbe a good start.
We could probly put together a nice quality custom update with that.
Well goodluck!
The fonts are placed into windows directory (by default) you can actually change the location of the fonts from the registry. If interested I can send you the extract from the WPk7 registry file, where the fonts and font linking is done. As mentioned I have coocked my own ROM with sylfaen in windows directory and changed some settings in the registry. It seems that copying the font only doesnot solve the problem, there is the registry key where you have to add the your font to. It is quite interesting, because all the fonts seem to link to SegoWP. The problem is that the range for Georgian fonts is actually present in all the fonts that a factory present in WP7. The only problem is that that range is empty. Thus, when viewing Georgian pages you recive blank squares instead of charachters. With my own cocked ROM with sylfaen.ttf in it, I recieved quite strange results, MS Word would display Georgian text perfectly, Outlook would not. The strangest happened to IE when viewing georgian pages... The page would start blinking?!? Very strange. At this point I quite playing arround with this prodject, as I got to the max I could do I was thinking of using the xap install/update method that Da_G provided, but it is too techy for me.
Thanks anyway.
