After installing and un-installing an hebrew support package (known as "the_dude"), the names and descriptions of the devices in the Comm Manager screen are no longer intelligible - see attached image (sorry, couldn't display it within the post, newbie restrictions).
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
hard reset you phone, you have removed the system fonts (or screwed the reg settings for them)

if you doubt and you know so much why have you posted for help?
also that screenshot shows that you have deleted a system font, thats why all the squares.
(I posted a reply because i know the answer, not for a laugh - i felt sorry for you as a new user, otherwise i wouldnt even have bothered posting what i did!!)
as you are all knowing and you doubt me, enjoy fixing your error.
I mean what the hell do i know, im only the guy who mapped out the WM6.5 and WM6.5.x font systems so i REALLY doubt id know!!

All i'm saying is that it's logical to assume that all the captions in the Comm Manager screen use the same font. So, if some of the captions (e.g. "ActiveSync") are still readable, it means that the font probably hasn't been removed.
Wouldn't you agree?

nope! there are about 20 different font used by the system, some named different but the same font.
so if you remove a particular font you can break for eg the keyboard font, but not he menu font, ehrn thought they are the same.
also you have things like fontname.ttf, fontname_bold.ttf, fontname_italic.ttf etc, you can remove fontname.ttf, but the other 2 will still work.
i think this is what happened to you, the comm mge txt is the same, except one is bold, what ever you installed has removed one of these fonts.
just hard-reset, it is 5 mins!

When have M$ done anything logically? it would be logical to hae 4 fonts, all the same but bold italic normal and thin, and thats it. why the hell have as many as they do? stupid if you ask me!

Thanks, that clears it.
I'll probably go for a hard reset, but i wouldn't want to lose all the content, so perhaps you may suggest the name of the missing font?

Hi guys I am currently using TNT5.0 on my wizard and I noticed that the Touch syled 10 button Comm Manager and also the Cube's font has changed considerably and no longer looks nice. I have attached screenshots of what I am talking about.
If anyone knows how to fix this short of hard-resetting, I would be very grateful.

Remember if you have added new fonts recently.Get some generic font Ariel is best and paste it into windows folder. now search for any font files in windows folder and rename it. now soft reset your device and delete renamed files.
Hope this helps. Best of luck

Well I was able to get the Comm Manager fixed but the cube would not change back to normal... Oh well... I don't really use the cube anyway, I just don't like imperfections on my fully custom phone you know?
I see you have wisbar, are you sure that you didn't used the override system font ?

thats a good question... right now i dont have in installed and the fonts are normal. i'll have to look into it when i reinstall it.
Come on, the problem has been mentioned so many times! This is 95% sure due to WeatherPanel, just change the font in this app to another one (i.e.chameleon).

ive just fixed a similar problem. since i installed that **** called livingsoft i started with problems in my font cube (only)
i solved this problem by doing this:
1. i searched all the ttf files in my windows folder (using the resco explorer)
there i found some files, one of them was called sildunir.ttf.
as i didnt recognized that font i searched on the internet, and i found it was the font of my already uninstalled livingsoft program.
2. i tried to rename it and soft reseted.
3. nothing happends.
4. what i did next was to rename the tahoma.ttf font to sildunir.ttf (notice that it is the tahoma font just with a different name)
5. i copy it to the windows folder and it asked me to rename the old file. i did it.
6. soft reset and my problem was solved.
use this as a guide. maybe your font isnt sildunir.ttf, but you recognize another one that is causing this problem.
sorry about my bad english.
cheers from uruguay.

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396068
And click here to download the files needed for the Vox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
Is there a way to do this in the registry or so?
Making the message-area bigger in the threaded sms-messaging that is.. because I feel that only three rows is way to little when typing.. tried to raise the bar but it seems hard stuck..
Um? this is limited by your screen size
you can always change the font size to see more...
unless i misunderstood your intention
I think he means that he wants to make the area at the bottom bigger, the area where you type in the message.
afaik you can resize the textbox by editing the "thread_sms.htm" in \Windows\ there is a "height=50" when you change it to 60 you get a bigger textbox
hope that helps

Use Total Commander and search for "thread_sms" and the file will come up. Choose the edit option, and edit away!
very useful... someone's already asked me that before.. i think i'll add it to the guides thread.
sorry, forgot to subscribe to the thread :/ but hope you figured it out
Thank you everyone, I searched and edited the html-file with resco/word at first but it couldn't save the file cuz it said it was used.. then i searched/edited it with total commander and it worked like a charm after a soft reset! Default height was height="35", changed it to 80 = perfect

I am having the same issue and have been unable to find any info.
Several people have suggested advanced config, which has several font settings, but they do not seem to have any effect, at least on my device.
You may want to give it a try on yours.
Go to settings > system settings > screen and there is an option to change font size, see if that works for you. I didn't for me, but who knows

I've still not found a way to adjust fonts with TouchFlo, but at least for popup menus, you can disable TouchFlo, and then the device will go back to using Windows fonts, which can be adjusted using Advanced Config or other tool.
You can use TD2 Tools, go to the TouchFLO tab, and uncheck Enable TouchFlo Popup Menus.
I dont like having all the clouds floating across the screen, I think its a waste of space+ it makes my 1ghz -.- leo lag.
So Ive tried changing the homewallpaper to animated then choosing my own 480x800 wallpapers, but once I set them, I go back to check on the homescreen and I still have the default stuff on there Ive tried restarting ect, nothing.
You can see what rom im running from my signature, Im not sure if thats making any difference. I think the problem may be the fact that I just tried to install Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 quicklinks, but it didnt work, I got the screen attached to this thread, so I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal, or so I thought, may this be the problem?

The method you described should work. I can only guess that you're right about the ROM or the 16 quicklinks affecting it.
Can't help, other than to say that it works on mine when I do that, so it's not default behaviour.

I was obviously being sarcastic, but in case yours doesn't do this...
All the people in my contact list have the same full name or the same email address that they have on facebook (if they're on there).
I only have to manually link about 2 of them, out of about 30. I just go into the people tab, all people, and the updates and events tab (the figure with a clock next to the head) and perform an update there. It automatically links the majority of my facebook/contact matches.
Do you have to manually link them all 1-by-1?
I just set my wallpaper to animated, but selected a static one, and then set it back to the weather one. I also did a registry dump of HKCU before and after setting it back to the weather one, and I found 1 change when I'd set it to a non-weather background.
Try setting this registry key. You'll need a reset afterwards.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
Hope this helps

Yep - 0x00000002 = 2, so you know more than you think
If it's turned the weather animation off, then I'd say it's worked. Go to Menu, Home Wallpaper, and select Weather Wallpaper. Then browse for the background you want for the home page. Once you've got that, set that registry key and restart.
If the wallpaper doesn't change when you do it that way either, then it probably is the quicklinks change that's broke something, so I'd recommend looking at HDWall. If you don't know what it is, it's a cab creator for wallpapers that allows high quality images (not the downsized version that you get if you let the UI set it), and you can have it on all tabs too. I have 20 quicklinks and HDWall works great for me.
Anyway, lets see how you get on with changing the wallpaper first.
Hope this helps
