Set a registry key for font linking

To ensure that font linking works, it is recommended that you use Tahoma or Microsoft Sans Serif fonts in your
FactoryTalk View ME
 application.
To use language switching with another font, add a registry key for that font. You can link the base font to all the fonts that are linked to Tahoma or Microsoft Sans Serif.
The registry key that is set using these directions only exists when the fonts that support font linking are installed. When you install a new Windows language or language group, part of the process installs the fonts and enables font linking.

    Arial
    .
  7. In the
    Value data
     box, paste (
    Ctrl+V
    ) the value you copied in step 4, and then click
    OK
    .
When you restart the computer, the new font will be linked to all the fonts that Tahoma or Microsoft San Serif are linked to.
