The new DM compatible fonts for use with FV are included in FoxView
9.0.2 for Solaris. You can read about the fonts in Section 6 of the FV
release notes.

The team that did the work is working on Solaris on the Mesh and their
plan is to start the work on Windows versions of the font after the
first test release of SotM is complete.

Hope this is useful

Ted,
        Thanks for that information.  Please let the list know if/when
the new DM > FV conversion tool meets your expectation in regard to the
font conversion issue.
Cheers,
Tom VandeWater

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."
=3D3D3D3D20
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.
