My font in Comm Manager is messed up. Hardly readable and with missing language specific sings like åäö. Of course it's som of the programs I've installed thats causing this, but even if I uninstall them the right font doesn't appear.
What can I do? Besides hard resetting? Am I missing a font and if so, which?
i have the same thing. are you also using the orbit 2.
No, I've got a Polaris.
I had the same thing on my orbit 2, only way of clearing it was a hard reset. I suspected it was one of the skins i loaded for phonealarm.
no phoneallarm installed and same problem, so...
I had this problem for a while, I did some investigating and found that it was due to my installation of Weather Panel by Marsware. to fix this you need to delete the pixel.ttf and BRADHITC.ttf files found in the "Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel\themes\default" folder, i just renamed them to .bak. do a soft reset and you should be OK. If you don't have weatherpanel, try searching your device for any .ttf file, you should only have three Cour.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahombd.ttf and they should be located in \windows (don't delete these three) anything else you find might be the problem, try renaming and then Soft reset.
Same problem here; it appeared after installing phonealarm
search with resco explorer for .ttf
do not delete tahoma.ttf tahomabd.ttf cour.ttf
delete Bradhitc.ttf and
newton.ttf and
Pixel.ttf or anything else
Oh course I have both WeatherPanel AND PhoneAlarm.
But your advice did help. Thanks.
I was thinking what causes Comm Manager choose another font and how to stop it.
I'm thinking of two ways. Either copy the needed font to the same directory as the exe file or make a copy of the needed font and reneme it with an a in fron, if Comm Manager looks for any font, and goes for it an alphabetic order.

I have of course both Weather Panel and PhoneAlarm.
But your tips solved the problem, I uninstalled the fonts.
But what causes Comm Manager do take another font? Does it look for the "nearest" font in a folder close to it or does it choose from an alphabetic order?
I had the same problem in my XDA Orbit, but it isn't the phone fault, but WM's. I'v copied a new font (random one, for skinning Wisbar Advance) into /windows/fonts folder and after soft reset, the comm manager font changed. I think, that maybe, somehow, Windows makes the last used/updated/copied font a default font for it. Try re-copying tahoma in windows/fonts. I can't try it for myself now, waiting for my Orbit 2 hehe, but I know the issue. Hope it helped.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the Comm Manager in my Touch Cruise.
I just did a hard reset and installed Mobile Navigator GPS software.
Now my Comm Manager looks like this.
If you can notice, the fonts are all jagged.
Any Clues?
Thanks
I've got similar problem. The font in comm. manager is changed. But only in comm manager. Everything else is ok.
same problem here. any ideas how to solve it?
I have the same issue, slightly different font. It is also visible in Notes - Options - on the bottom. I may have that since installing Resco. I suspect that some fonts are replaced.
I have found a solution to it. Rename font files in
\Windows\Fonts
ipa93mr.ttf
ipa93dr.ttf
ipa93sr.ttf
to
ipa93mr.ttf.orig
ipa93dr.ttf.orig
ipa93sr.ttf.orig
and soft-reset. You may have different fonts there as well. But I found these to correspond with the weird fonts in Comm Manager.
In my phone (german OS) the files are called arial.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialk.ttf.
These are from MN6 and I have delated them. Now the CommManager looks like before and Navigon works also pretty good.

Apparently, I need those fonts installed in \Windows\Fonts. I am only wondering how Comm Manager picks up fonts to be applied in the application. In all likelihood it searches for closest fonts available. Maybe I could copy some default fonts and rename them.
same issue
I have same issue with same phone except:
1. My fonts look even worse than the orig poster
2. My \windows\fonts folder is empty
Noticed the issue last night after I installed the HTC today plug in. So I did a hard reset and it was fine again. Just finished installing CoPilot, Pocket Mechanic and Weather Panel (NOT HTC today this time) and checked Comm Manager and its back to being corrupt again.
Help?!?!
FIXED
OK, my problem is with Marsware weather panel.
To fix:
1. uninstall weather panel
2. copy arial.ttf from your c:\windows\fonts to PPC\windows\fonts
3. soft reset
This worked for me.
Unfortunatly, if you reinstall weatherpanel the problem will return. (as I just found out).
The comm panel does not look the same as it does after a hardreset but it looks a lot better than it did after it corrupted (I think it looks better than original!).
I should probably go to Marwares homepage and report the issue. SPB Weatherbar would not connect/update for me and I do like having the weather on my today screen
Fixed Comm Manager font issue!!
I had the same issue on htc touch cruise comm manager, but the tip given by dib_uk worked for me, thanks!.
My problem started when, due to an application, i got installed a "weird" font file on the empty folder named "fonts" (Windows/Fonts on device). I tried to delete this file, but it didnt allow me, i always got an error message telling me that it was in use by some application. So, this is what i did:
1.- Closed the Comm Manager application, and besides that, terminated the CommManager.exe process using MemMaid.
2.- Copied the font file "Arial Black (true type) from my lap top (c:/windows/fonts) to the folder windows/font on my device
3.- To ensure that the "weird" font file was released, i cut it and pasted on a temp folder, then i finally could delete it
4.- Did a soft reset
5.- Opened Comm Manager and it voila!, it had the same look as from stock
I hope this help to any other with this issue, sorry for my english, its not my native language
has anyone figured out how to remove the comm manager and the battery icons from the tray?
these are the programs in my windows\startup folder
PKG.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
sdim.lnk
TPStartup.exe
if it is not one of these and they are loaded from the registry - is there any way to prevent them them from loading from the registry?
thanks
Did you search? I posted a howto on this.
here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=system
fair point about the search!
thanks for your help - now solved.
while this is being discussed... has anyone figured out how to disable the whole taskbar and not just specific icons? I know it disappears if there are no icons to display but there are other apps that put icons there... tomtom, task managers etc etc it would be simpler to just disable the whole thing right?
i moved a file called "O2 Custom.lnk" from the \Windows\Start Up folder to my storage card (just to back it up) and the tray went away. however, since i'm now running bepe's .53 Non TomTom WM 6.1 Rom, it's no longer an issue for me. hope this helps!
Nice one cortezzi!

Alright... here's the deal. This may be a completely neophyte-esque question, but here I go anyway.
So I have File Explorer Extension v2.05 installed, and I love it and all, but I can't stand that icon! How could I keep that Extension installed but use the normal WM6 File Explorer icon installed instead?
Also, on a side note, where are folder icons stored on WM6?
Thanks much, guys!
Eh. Icons are stored..
I dont know your first question , but due to wm 6.5 letting you change your icons. They are in the windows folder/ and you go to whatever program icon u want changed. or windows/icons/edit

Yeah, I don't have 6.5... I'm 6.1, standard Verizon Touch Pro ROM.
Other question, maybe this is easier... how could I get the standard File Explorer icon, then set the File Explorer Extension shortcut icon to that?
It's a good question, and one I'd like to know the answer to.
Most programs pull in the icon associated with the .exe file - M2D is a good example when populating the launcher tab.
How do you change the icon associated with the .exe without an external program to do this?
e.g. not using 'reStart' on 6.5.
Nobody else knows anything about this? C'mon, I know people have changed icons in the past... help me out, here!
Installed resco explorer.. and now everything is ****ed up....
the start screen doesnt have anything its just blank,
cant go into settings on the mobile
and alot more... only way to hard reset?
try first a soft reset. or, uninstall resco. but what happened? i doubt that resco did that to your device.
If you read through these forums you will find that very many people (myself included)use Resco Explorer without problem. I agree with Joshzzz and suggest you look somewhere different on your device. Could you post what rom you are using and what you have installed etc.
I don't recall seeing any of such but maybe I just didn't browse alot. I do know Resco File Explorer doesn't cause such problem for the multiple times I've installed, on multiple cooked and official roms, on multiple devices, including the HD2.
I second all those who have posted above.
I have installed Resco Explorer on my HD2 without any issues.
I suspect it may just be a coincidence that your problems started at the same time as installing Resco.
Did you install anything else at that time? Use Resco to alter a registry file? Tweak anything?
Everything was working really good before, im using stock 1.66 btw..
The only thing i installed today was Flashlite to play flashgames,
and i installed resco to change flashlite to play .swf files..
and right after i installed my whole home screen was just blank with alot of resco icons for doing diffrent stuffs...
tried unistall and soft reset.. didnt help now its just totally blank,
and when i enter settings i dont get up that black settings tree to change everyhing
i use BSB tweaks and Cookies home tab
but i never changed anything registry etc.. and resco i only used for 2 hours because it ****ed up so much

That sounds a lot like the Windows Mobile today screen. It sounds like all that has happened is that Sense has turned off.
To turn it back on simply go to:
Start - settings - today - items (tab)
Tick 'HTC Sense'
Then go ok.
Sense will restart.
I changed almost all of the icons in the quickmarks of CHT by manually changing the path of the .Ink files in:HKLM/Security/Shell/Start info/Start/.....Ink.
But the problem I have is that from some programms (like 'Mute4' and 'HTC Torchlight') I can't find .Ink files.
Anyone an idea?

Why on earth do you want to change every icon manually?? Why don't you just use CSMI, JWDM or HComber? instead of doing all those registry entries
Grtz,
Degake
Because I want to know what is happening on my device. I know I am a control freak! But what about a solution/answer?
