Good day
I tried searching the forum and found some posts related to this but could not find a solution. I’ve installed the latest version of Manager on a Windows 11 desktop which is showing an unclear text as shown in the picture below.
I understand this could be a issue with the fonts but I already have Helvetica installed on the pc and I cannot uninstall it as I use it in my design work. Any solutions that I can use would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
You might want to check your system fonts. If you have every font installed, then maybe you should delete Helvetica.
See this post for more detail:
Hi Earlfardan
Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. I have checked and all the system fonts as per Lubus’ post is installed on the PC. Also I have considered deleting the Helvetica font, but this is not possible as I use the font on a daily basis.
Is there any way around this or how else can I troubleshoot this?
Unfortunately, you are stuck with it.
This is how Windows webview displays Helvetica – which is really an Apple equivalent of Arial.
Hi Earlfardan
Thanks for the reply. You mentioned webview. I am using the desktop version… Is webview something that affects desktop applications?
@Lubos, do you maybe have another suggestion for me? It is really difficult to work with as it is, and I have all my data in manager.
Webview is a piece of embeded software that allows web applications to run native on Windows.
As a web application, Manager uses font substitutions, it uses: Arial for Windows, Helvetica for Mac, and Sans Serif for other OS.
The problem is that you are running Windows and using an Apple font and this is creating text rendering issues.
I will need to rectify this.
Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif stack is largely outdated.
Hi Earlfardan, thank you for clarifying.
@Lubos, thank you for the reply. Will you let us know of any developments in coming updates via the releases page?
The latest version is updating fonts to modern stack. So I assume this issue should be resolved now.
