Font - Page 2

dirkdeftly · 10th December 2002, 17:35

I am, but the wrapper kept crashing for inexplicable reasons...That, and I still couldn't read the whole thing with the wrapper.

Anyway, I just figured out how to log the output, and did. I read the .dll plugin functions listing and - guess what - fonts.DLL::registerfont.
Gee, thanx for not ever telling me that, guys

kichik · 10th December 2002, 17:40

Are you or are you not using NSIS 2.0b0?
MakeNSISw crashes, .dll after plug-in names, and .onNextPage and .onPrevPage are all from a7 and below.

dirkdeftly · 10th December 2002, 18:01

Absolutely sure. But the problem's fixed now, I'm movin on...

kichik · 10th December 2002, 18:06

Maybe you are ready to move on, but I am not after you are telling me MakeNSISw crashes and plug-in detection doesn't occur as should.

Please attach a screen shot of MakeNSISw crash.

dirkdeftly · 10th December 2002, 18:36

The plugin detection happens, I just can't see it unless I log it. I'd rather not post a screenshot, because it really is a lot of trouble for me on this computer (and *DON'T* suggest programs I download, I've already been through that a million times, the answer is still 'THEY WON'T WORK!')

kichik · 10th December 2002, 18:40

Can you at least attach the log?

Joost Verburg · 10th December 2002, 19:16

I think you are using an old development snapshot which has the beta 0 label. That is not the final beta 0 release, which has been released a few days ago.

Please download the final release at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/n...0.exe?download

dirkdeftly · 10th December 2002, 20:50

Okay, thanx joost

Joost Verburg · 10th December 2002, 21:34

Is the filename of your script really "c:\nsis\tff2/0\tff2.0.nsi.nsi" ?

dirkdeftly · 11th December 2002, 06:16

Whoah...didn't see that. That'd explain a couple things....

kichik · 11th December 2002, 13:53

Your log clearly shows you are using NSIS 2.0a7. Install NSIS 2.0b0 from http://nsis.sf.net/ and all of the problems above will be gone.

Mottel · 12th December 2002, 03:34

Kichik, that fonts.dll that you posted looks like a very useful addon to NSIS. I will be using it myself eventually. You should include it in the Plugins dir on CVS so it will come standard with future downloads, but, I would suggest you call it RegisterFont.DLL.
/Edit/
P.S. BTW, FontReg.exe is a Microsoft program in the $SYSDIR of Win98. Looking at the strings in the file, I see that: (a) it describes itself as "Font Sweeper Application" (??) and, (b) from the function names, I'd say it's a fair bet that it does the same thing as your DLL, but is specific to Win98 (and maybe 95 and ME).
/Edit2/
Maybe not. I've just been playing with it, and it doesn't seem to do what I thought it did.

Kypec · 12th December 2002, 12:58

I agree with Mottel, please
include kichik's fonts.dll as
the standard plugin in Plugins\
directory for all future releases, thanx.

Joost Verburg · 12th December 2002, 13:47

It's just a singe API call, so you can also use the System plugins which is already included.

One last round on this thread and I'm done, I promise

I have now (almost) completed my installer. However when I run it and install the font, I get an error message saying "Could not find symbol: registerfont". I sent it to a friend and he got the same thing.

Here's the font section of the installer:

PHP Code:


			
Section "Adolescense font (reccommended)"

SectionIn 1 2



SetOutPath "$WINDIR\fonts\"

File "c:windowsfontsAdolesce.TTF"



RegisterFonts:

StrCmp $0 '95' lbl_95_98_me

StrCmp $0 '98' lbl_95_98_me

StrCmp $0 'ME' lbl_95_98_me



lbl_nt_2k_xp:   

WriteRegStr HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFonts" "Adolesce.TTF" "Adolescense"



lbl_95_98_me:

WriteRegStr HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionFonts" "Adolesce.TTF" "Adolescense"

fonts::registerfont "Adolesce.TTF"



SectionEnd

Spot anything wrong?

kichik · 21st December 2002, 07:46

Yes, the function name is case sensitive... I never noticed this before, I will fix it for the next version (already found in the CVS). For now, use the DLL function name exactly as mentioned on the top of the output.

dirkdeftly · 21st December 2002, 15:11

Thanx, fixed

Also thanx for not giving me crap about <PHP> taking out the slashes
