• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Please can someone help.
I have loaded ADE as instructed in the tutorials and although everything seems to load ok, I am getting the same error message. This is in ADE Home edition/ADE 1.20 & ADE1.25 update. Error message below:-



Font 'Arial Narrow' does not support style 'Bold'.

Hoping that someone can solve the mystery as I have not got ADE to work yet.

Dave,

I have never seen this message before. What OS are you running ADE on? I just tested Arial Narrow on my system and bold is a supported property for this font.

Please find a log file (ade_200804.log) in your ADE program folder and send it to jon AT scruffyduck.co.uk (replace AT with @).
 
I have exchanged emails with Dave and suggested he post here. I am sure we have had one case of this before but I can't remember when or what the cause was. There is certainly an issue with screen resolution and DPI - I wonder if that comes into play here
 
The screen resolution error gave us dialogs without buttons in the visible area. This is at least new to me.
 
Thanks for the help guys. I have done what Jon said in his e mail to me, which is to go into word & find the font needed.I also downloaded the font checker as instructed & ADE now works, but only if you pick a stock airport from the list as it still won`t work if you try and pick the ICAO.
I am going to try upgrading from 1.20 to 1.25 now & fingers crossed it will still work ok.
Again thanks for the help.

Dave
