Resolve Fonts

[paul_a_cardinale]

This VI works fine in the IDE, but not in an executable.

Any suggestions would be appreciated (other than the obvious of manually copying the font specs from labview.ini to a custom app.ini).

What does not work fine in an executable?

I created an executable (Application.exe) of your VI.

- if the entry 'appFont="Arial" 12' is in Application.ini the executable returns 'Arial' and '12'

- if appFont is not in Application.ini the executable returns an error 1520.

What do you want to achieve with your VI?

I want it to work without having to manually copying the font specs from labview.ini to a custom app.ini.

So do I.

I gave up years ago...

There is a vi analyzer test to find all symbolic fonts. Replace each with a defined font. (Discussion leading to it).

My use case was to parse a picture control string, to render it in a PDF.

However, "Application Font" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what the "Application Font" is.

And there is no way to query that.
