Chapter 6 • Installing Avid|DS

Installing Non-

European Fonts

If you are working with on non-European customized Windows, such as

Windows 2000 Japanese, you can use the DSFontSetting.exe application,

which is distributed with Avid|DS version 6. You can use this application to

change the default font used in Avid|DS dialog boxes or reset it to default.

The new font is used only in dialog boxes; menus and toolbar buttons are not

affected by this new information. You can customize the menu font size

through the Windows Appearance tab of the Desktop Properties.

For non-European languages, Avid|DS selects a font (by default) that

comprises the European character set and is part of the character set of the

foreign Windows system, such as Windows 2000 Japanese. However, the

chosen font is very small and does not appear properly, especially in dialog

boxes. For regular systems, the default font for dialog boxes is Arial 11.

This application does not ensure that the font will fit properly in the dialog

box. Whenever the new selected font is too large for the various text contents of

the dialog box, a smaller default font will be used as in previous versions. You

must be careful to choose a font that still contains a European character set,

since the displayed text is still English. this new feature is not restricted only to

Asian systems; any customer of any country can change the Avid|DS default

font. However, layouts work best with the actual default font (Ariel 11). Each

time a new font is set or reset, you must restart Avid\DS before it take effect.

To install non-European fonts

1. Browse to the C:\Program Files\Avid\DS_6.01 folder.

2. Double-click on the DSFontsettings.exe file.
