Hi there!
I saw utilities on remotecentral.com (Fontrep and Imgrep) and I read the readme file of Fontrep and I went into the register and changed font 4 and font 5 from pronto font to verdana font and I changed a couple of buttons into the Verdana font and saved it and uploaded the configuration into my Pronto (SBC RU 940).
In ProntoEdit I saw the verdana font but when I uploaded the configuration into the Pronto the Pronto did not display the symbols not right. This is correct cause the symbols (like scart, light) are not in the verdana font.
But when I changed the verdana font back into the standard pronto font it all went wrong!
I tried everything but the Pronto keeps displacing the symbols not correct (I get weird characters, like an "I" with dots).
It only happens with font 4 and 5 because those were the ones I changed.
If I use pronto 14, 12, 10 or 8 it is ok, then there is no problem, only with the font 4 and 5 (pronto 16 and 18).
I tried revert, reset.
Uninstalled ProntoEdit and reinstalled it.
Cleaned out the register of all ProntoEdit stuff.
Copied a button from an other configuration.
Uploaded the latest firmware again.
It won't work.
I have taken care of it temporarily by creating a button with the text I wanted and imported it as a bitmap. But there's got to be way to get it as it was.
How can I resolve this?
Greetings
Robert

Robert, After you reinstall Pronto Edit, you need to reboot your computer even though it doesn't prompt you to do so. This might get you back to square 1. I've not used FontRep, but if it messes with the Pronto's firmware, you might have to reflash the firmware to your remote after reinstalling PE. Jim L

Jim,
I have uninstalled ProntoEdit and installed it again but this time I rebooted the pc and after rebooting I uploaded the firmware for my SBC RU 940 and the problem still exist.
Any suggestions?
Because I'm out of suggestions.
Greetings
Robert

You need to restore the file containing the firmware to the original, not the one that you modified. Then download the firmware.

Peter,
After reinstalled ProntoEdit I installed the fresh firmware and not the one I'd modified.
I didn't modify the firmware because I couldn't figure it out, so I changed font 4 and 5 to Verdana in the register for ProntoEdit.
I didn't extract the fonts from the firmware or updated the firmware.
Greetings
Robert

So the Pronto is correct, but the emulator is not?

Anthony,
ProntoEdit and the emulator are correct.
The Pronto is not.

The only way the Pronto could be wrong is if you modified the firmware using FontRep then downloaded it to your Pronto.
If you did not change the firmware (as you say), this suggests that the Pronto is correct but ProntoEdit and the emulator are wrong.
You don't say which version of PE you are using. You should be using PE 4.05. This version uses the registry for its settings. However, the emulator uses pronto.ini.
I suggest you download ProntoIni Workshop and it should fix up your registry settings.

Peter,
I didn't modified the firmware because I couldn't extract the fonts from the firmware with Fontrep.
I use ProntoEdit 4.0.5.
I'll try ProntoIni workshop and let you know.

Peter,
I've tried ProntoIni workshop and it doesn't work.
All fonts enabled/disabled
Developer Mode enabled/disabled.
Restore the default REG.
I've tried the options stated above and it just won't work.
Greetings
Robert

Anthony,
It looks like it's that problem.
Because I tried Pronto 18 for the scart symbol and it's displayed good.
Is there a tool to display symbols with size 16?
Greetings
Robert

Robert, As you gathered from reading Anthony's excellent link, symbols are not supported for certain fonts. As discussed above, you could probably use FontRep to add the symbols. The newer series remotes (TSU 6000, Marantz 9200/5200) do support symbols for all fonts - so there is probably enough "room" in the firmware to add them. Personnally, I wouldn't mess around with the firmware. I do know that Barry Shaw had some excellent results replacing the graphics on Marantz 9200s using ImgRep, which is similar. But I feel that there just isn't enough user experience with these programs to warrant the potential risk. Just MHO. Jim L

the Pronto does not use fonts in the windows sense, it uses a picture of each letter/symbol in each font (so it contains 6 "A"s, 6"B"s,.... of different size. So the Pronto font on your PC can make a symbol or letter of any size, the Pronto only has a limited number of sizes for anything it can show as text. The Ponto has in it all the letters for all fonts, but the symbols are only contained in 10, 14, 18
