Over the last two years we have gone from 51B->F, v4.3->v7.1/8.1,
cp30/40->CP60/270, legacy Historian->Aim*, Nodebus/CLAN->Mesh/ATS) and
are now working on DM->FoxView. We have also experienced issues with
fonts and other items not working/looking/acting the same after the
conversion. Foxboro has had various folks (on & off site) working on
our converted graphics so that they function as our operators rightfully
expect them to. Fortunately DM and FoxView peacefully co-exist.
Anyway, there are still a couple of things that we're hoping (led to
believe) will be fixed in FoxView v9.0.2. We have just received a copy
and a Foxboro engineer and field service rep are on-site testing/loading
the new version.
The FoxView v9.0.2 Release Notes (P/N B0193WL Rev L, dated July 18
2006) Section 6.1.2 (entitled 'DM Font Conversion') states on page 33:
"Previously, when DM displays were converted to FoxView
displays using conversion tools, the text indicated in displays were
sometimes of incorrect size and misaligned. FoxView 9.0.2 includes the
functionality to handle DM conversion correctly for Solaris platforms."

Also FYI the release notes Appendix B (entitled 'Problems Resolved in
V9.0.1') details 70 items (mainly CARs) in FoxView (40), FoxSelect (1),
FoxDraw (18), DEdit, (5), and Enhanced Detail Displays (6) that have
been addressed.
The User Notes are not yet posted on the Invensys GPS (ex-CSC) website
(controlled release?), so check with your friendly neighborhood Foxboro
service organization and/or call TAC.

Subject: [foxboro] Display Manager fonts for FoxView
Does anyone know if anything ever came of the project to create a set of
fonts for FoxView that matches the Display Manager fonts?
We are converting one node, and th operators are complaining that the
resultant converted graphics are hard to read.
