flyblueskies Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Several people, including myself, have found that the following fonts cause the Display Unit to fail: AirbusPFD.ttf AirbusPFD2.ttf CDU.ttf (which apparently is a Captain Sim-installed font) CDU_WXR.TTF In my case, I copied the fonts to another folder for safe keeping, then I deleted the fonts. Once done, I was able to start up the DU without any issues. Adding them back in, and the problem returns. I have the Windows 10 UPGRADE OS. There may be other fonts that also lead to the problem...

Marc R Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Deleted AirbusPFD.ttf & AirbusPFD2.ttf only, did not have CDU.ttf and CDU_WXR.TTF in my font folder. Now the DU working I have the Windows 10 PRO UPGRADE OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevererharp Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I will add that the only font I had to remove to get EFB Display Unit running is AirbusFCU.tff These fonts can be found in C:\Windows\Fonts Because this is a font issue, I feel Aivlasoft Developers should now address this problem for v1.

aivlasoft Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure that it is NOT a font problem. After more than 30 years of software development I cannot see any relation between the Airbus fonts and the fonts which are used by EFB. EFB only uses the Windows default fonts "Arial", "Arial narrow" and "Tahoma", nothing else.

ReZ13 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Urs, can you please explain or define your reply of "I'm pretty sure that it is NOT a font problem"....whilst i also agree with you in that I "cannot see any relation between the Airbus fonts and the fonts which are used by EFB"....the fact of the matter remains that a temp solution has been found in order for the DU to run properly. I myself have have had the font problem and can confirm removal of an airbus font clears the matter, yet, i cannot explain why. I'm running windows 10 pro 64bit (clean install) with fsx-se only.

qqwertzde Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just in an effort to try being helpful: on my Win 10 system, these fonts really seem to be the problem. If I remove AirbusPFD.ttf, AirbusPFD2.ttf, and CDU.ttf, EFB works fine. Furthermore, a few users have already provided alternative fonts that do work with EFB: A modified AirbusPFD2.ttf can be found at http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/97403-airbus-fonts-disrupt-windows-10-browser-font-display/&do=findComment&comment=694173 and a modified CDU.ttf can be found at http://www.captainsim.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1438520565/0#6 So for me, the only problem left is AirbusPFD.ttf. It may also be of interest that EFB is not the only program affected: I had display problems with Super Traffic Board, and other had issues with Microsoft Edge. However, EFB appears to be the only program that does not start because of these fonts. Best, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZ13 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for the links Peter..It seems the Airbus font is mimicking the Arial font :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Guys I was one of the lucky ones in that EFB worked for me on Windows 10, albeit with the crazy fonts, although the FlightLog did not seem to create after the flight was completed. However, I have installed V1.6. My only question regarding the deletion of the Airbuis Fonts, will this have any effect on the Aerosoft A320 family products? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ken Hi Ken For me, removing the Airbus Fonts had no effect whatsoever on the A318/A319/A320/A320 package. I did hear some other users had some issues with their displays after the font removal - mine had no effect whatsoever Hope this helps Regards Pauga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi Pauga Thanks for the info, I did remove the Airbus fonts and everything for me is working OK. It also solved the font problem for another progamme that I have, totally unrelated to flightsim. Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I have no idea..... Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
