A client just upgraded all their applications from VFP 3 to VFP 5. Most things came over just fine, except a label with bar codes on it; the bar codes no longer print. Investigation shows that setting the Font for those fields does not "keep" the setting - the font name gets blanked out. I can select the font, but it won't "stay."

The issue seems to be that these bar code fonts (Zebra) are non-True type. When I do the AFONTS() and GETFONTS() functions, they don't show the non-TrueType fonts, but the non-TT are available for selection in the font dialog box. The system (non-FP) option for Fonts is NOT set to "Show True Type Only" (nothing system-wide changed except the upgrade from VFP 3 to VFP 5).

Has anyone run into an issue with VFP 5 and non-True Type fonts? Is there way to get VFP to accept the non-TT font?

TIA.
