Forms 11g font issue on Windows 8

edited Jan 21, 2015 7:48AM in Oracle Forms (MOSC) Question

Hi all,

I have trouble developing forms 11g applications on Windows 8. No matter which font I choose in forms developer, it also displayed as MingLiU.

I ran the same form on Windows XP with same Java version and the fonts displayed properly.

I tried to edit the fontconfig.properties file on Windows 8 by replacing the font mapping of chinese-ms950 with the same value of alphabetic and everything works fine. It doesn't make sense since I am typing alphabetic characters but no chinese characters and I can't edit client's properties file.

It seems that Java skip alphabetic fonts and fall to chinese-ms950 even if I type alphabetic characters.

Howdy, Stranger!
