European Extra Font Download

[Theodor Urena]

Ihave worked out how to add one extra custom font (our Brand's) to our Power BI Theme. But we have two that we use and I can't figure out how to add both so the appear in the dropdown list of fonts for any visual?

The result is that the new fonts appear on my system (I can use them to format text in MS Word, for example) and if I explicitly refer to them in a web page (i.e. by setting the font-family to 'aegyptus') they appear correctly:

The problem is that I can't control what fonts a web page uses and it's my understanding that Windows or my browser should automatically detect that the glyphs are not in the font and find an appropriate match.

I have tested this on a clean vm (the Windows 7/IE 9 Virtual Box VM from modern.ie) and found that installing noto and Firefox allows the fonts to just work. After installing a font, the glyphs appear automatically in Firefox without me having to specify the font-face. But for my local bare-metal machine it does not work.

I checked My Windows 7 has suddenly stopped displaying Unicode symbols which suggests a problem with Chrome, and recommends putting a file on the desktop with characters that use the unicode code points you need. However, I tried putting both a file with a Chinese character, and a file with an Egyptian character in the filenames, and that didn't help. Note: at no time have any of my Chinese characters stopped working. It's only the other character ranges that aren't working.

In any case I've tried disabling every start-up program I can find to see if one of them wasn't mucking this up but nothing has helped. I even uninstalled Chrome, Adobe Acrobat, and several other possible candidates, to no avail.

I've discovered one work-around which helps but I would like a better solution. If I turn off "Use hardware acceleration when available" and restart Firefox, then my fonts appear. I have verified that I have the latest drivers for my graphics card (Intel HD4000) and that doesn't seem to help. This bug report at Mozilla suggests that there are font-rendering problems on certain cards, but the stated work-around doesn't affect me, and in any case my fonts look fine, but the glyph substitution is not happening.

On comparison between IE and Chrome, IE is slightly better in that it provides more extensive fallback on per-script basis and provide UI settings for fonts, though that didn't cover Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The font fallback mechanism for Uniscribe / DirectWrite, the components mainly for complex text layout, is described in this MSDN article.

About the original problem, one might want to investigate on the direction of font fallback mechanism, probably some other bad behaving font overrides Noto font, claiming to support those glyphs while in fact it doesn't. A tedious method is to remove extra fonts on system and re-add them one by one until the culprit is found.

I had same problem with software which had char of my language in it's windows it didn't show true char, then i changed setting in control panel ->region and language-> administrative ->Language for non-Unicode, and set it for my language.

I have just moved to a new OS (Linux Mint) and have had to reinstall or update certain programmes. In Libreoffice5, the list of fonts includes many in non-European script. The chances of my needing any of these fonts is minimal, although I welcome their being included. But what I should like to be able to do is select those fonts which are relevant to my default language (English-UK), and have a custom list which includes only those. Any ideas?? Many thanks.

And PS - where is Times New Roman??

And about the use of the powerpointviewer: read the license, using that package is only allowed in windows systems, and that means that extracting the fonts on it to use on a different operative system is illegal.

The names of the last five fonts you have selected in LibreOffice are listed at the top of the font list. So, if you only use five or fewer fonts they are available at the top of the font list. If you select these five for your copy of your default template, you will see these when you create a new file.

If you load the Linux-Mint SOFTWARE MANAGER and select FONTS, you will find a list of the font packages installed on your system, some of font manager software together with a huge selection of font packages to install and manage together with details of each package. I would recommend looking at this list.

Most 8-bit computers implemented hardware text mode, and most of those used 8x8 fonts. This was logical for American computers; the title safe area on NTSC is about 200 scan lines; font height 8 gets you 25 text lines, which is the de facto standard. (Or use 192 scan lines for 24 text lines, the other candidate for de facto standard.)

But the title safe area on PAL is more like 250 scan lines. To get 25 text lines, an 8x10 font would be ideal. This would nicely fill the screen, and would also look better. (8x8 is not quite enough to make descenders look good.)

For example, the PAL version of the Commodore 64, sticks to the 8x8 font, leaving large chunks of unused screen space at the borders. Okay, because the font size on that machine was intimately linked to the graphics modes, changing it would break the ability to import American games, which is a good reason for that design decision.

But the Commodore PET had no such graphical capability; changing the font could not possibly have upset anything, yet it kept 8x8 anyway. Maybe that was because Commodore figured a better-looking display wouldn't gain them enough extra sales to pay for the extra engineering effort; easier to just take the American design straight across.

The only 8-bit machine I know of to take advantage of PAL resolution was the BBC Micro, and that still stuck to 8x8 for its software bitmap fonts, giving 32 text lines, which at least is using the full resolution of the screen, though creates awkwardness if you want to port software across the Atlantic.

Did any European 8-bit computers use a 10-line font, either hardware or software, to take advantage of PAL displays? (Not counting the later GUI machines where fonts became arbitrarily resizable anyway.)

It isn't European, but the Atari 8-bit range could do a ten-line character mode (IR mode 3, which looks like graphics mode 0 but with a little bit of extra line spacing), where the characters were still designed on an 8x8 grid but descenders (the last 32 characters) were padded by two blank lines at the top, with the rest padded with two blank lines at the bottom.

The Videx Videoterm 80 column card for the Apple II (very different from the 80 column display on the Apple //e) used an 6845 that had a programmable character height (and width), with a maximum of 8x16 pixels for characters.

In fact, both these use the SGS-Thomson EF9345 "graphic" chip. I suspect it was used by some other computers too, and I bet those would certainly all have a 8x10 font size: it is on the specs of the chip. See page 22, for example.

At university, I used a programmable video card to subdivide these 24 lines one step further to get 72 "lines" of 4*8px cells. Each text position consisted of 3 cells, two with the upper and lower half of the glyph, and one gap cell. This gave the opportunity to move a glyph up or down by 1/3 of a line height.

The electronics had to be simple and cheap enough to integrate into consumer TVs, but also found their way into some microcomputers. Teletext support was insisted upon by the BBC when sponsoring Acorn to build the BBC Micro, and was continued with the subsequent BBC Master and BBC A3000 (technically a member of the 32-bit ARM-powered Archimedes family). This allowed the BBC themselves to use BBC Micros to prepare broadcast graphics and Teletext screens accurately.

The SAA5050 implemented Teletext using a built-in 6x10 font bitmap, which was internally upscaled using a simple edge-smoothing algorithm for the purpose of providing an interlaced display. Other members of the SAA5050 family provided alternative character sets, most notably the SAA5055 which implemented ASCII instead of the Teletext character set.

After upscaling, the equivalent graphics resolution was effectively 480x500 pixels, corresponding to a 12x20 upscaled font bitmap. The pixels were not square, and the characters appeared noticeably wider than the numbers suggest, more similar to a 16x20 matrix of square pixels.

The Nascom 1 and 2 computers used a 9-line font on a 256 scan-line display, but as their display hardware was implemented with 74xxx series logic chips simplicity was its main goal, so for ease of address calculation, the 9-line font was displayed with 7 blank lines between each character, meaning there were only 16 rows on the display.

The Sperry UTS-30 used a 10x16 font matrix on a 24 line by 80 column green screen. The UTS-60, a color variant, used a 9x15 matrix with the same screen dimensions. See Sperry UTS 4000 Universal Terminal System

I was trying to find some ideas about how to include fonts locally on the webserver. Right now I only see the option to include google fonts which will be loaded externally from the google servers. Since May 25th, the new GDPR come into force. This brings a lot of changes to some technical things. One of this is that fonts should not be loaded externally, but locally (because if you load it externally your IP will be sent through). Even this new law is really a mess, we have to deal with it, even in the European Union.

So is there any easy way, except to include the font after exporting the project? Because if so, the design is not really nice while programming the webpages, because the font is missing and I have to use any other font meanwhile.

I'm sorry if I had miss-stated how you go about doing this, I'm aware that I had said previously in other posts to create and paste in your font code. Doesn't actually work like that in app. What you actually have to do is link to an external CSS in the app rather then create or import. You have to link to external CSS file that contains your Font Face coding.
