True Type Fonts
DirectX rendering only supports True Type fonts. This is simply a reflection of the underlying Microsoft technologies. True Type and Open Type, an extension of True Type, are industry standards and designed to render smoothly regardless of the font size used.
Where a font cannot be rendered, Visual LANSA uses Segoe UI.
Fonts such as MS Sans Serif, which is not True Type, typically have modern True Type alternatives. The MS Sans Serif equivalent is Microsoft Sans Serif.
If you intend to adopt DirectX, it is strongly recommended that you change your application to use a True Type font. This may cause issues with text no longer fitting in the available space and it is recommended that you review any changes you have made.
