Font changes when out to Word

Post by Techno »

Have upgraded to Flare 12 including latest service pack. Also using Word/Office 2010.

I won't claim to be an expert, but I have been using Flare almost since it's initial release. Our project is for software used internationally, and by necessity, uses a huge range of characters.

On discovering that Windows 10 no longer contained the Arial Unicode MS font, we had to create a Font Set where if that font was not available locally, it would use Arial. However, when we come to printed output, the two fonts have different line spacings even when single line spacing is selected. Clearly this makes a major difference to the number of pages output in print.

However, although Flare's Print view itself is showing Arial, when compiled to a Word Target, Word is using Arial Unicode MS.

I've being going round in circles for the last two days trying to find out what I may have missed. So before I spend another frustration spell, can I ask if anyone has had similar, or is it a bug?
