Flare 10 and CHM Font issues

[Jim]

I just upgraded to Flare 10 from 9.2, then compiled our projects to make sure it all still works.

What I noticed is that the fonts look different. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

In Flare 10,
* Paragraph spacing is decreased
* Font size has changed
* Bullet points are smaller

The font we are using on our topic pages is Segoe UI...not sure if that makes a difference.

I had this exact same issue, except we use Verdana. Turns out that there is a new default setting in v10 that was causing our fonts to display incorrectly. To resolve this issue, do this:

1. Open the HTML Help target file.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Clear the “Add meta tags to content” check box (it should be selected, as that is the default).
4. Save the target file.

Build your project. The fonts should all look correct now.

Hope this helps!

The tabs available in CHM output are dictated more by Microsoft rather than Flare. The example image you show looks a lot like what RoboHelp could generate but only if the users all downloaded an ActiveX control (and security conscious admins often turn this option off).
