Rainmeter and Pixel Fonts

Post by Church Punk »

Hi there,

my first post here :)

I have been playing with rainmeter to get a minimal look to match my EmergeDesktop setup. I love how versatile this little program is at the cost of very low resources. As you can see in the image attached, i have come up with my own mix of skins (sys mon, system vol. changer, essentials v2, and yboris-winamp (:) ).

The only request/bug report i have:
-Is it possible to get pixel fonts like .fon fonts working in Rainmeter? / Or why doesn't Rainmeter recognize some fonts installed in my machine?

I dont get it, some pixel fonts int .ttf format work, some others don't, but the .fon fonts don't work at all. Am i doing something wrong with the .ttf fonts?

Thanks in advance! :thumbsu:

There is a quite good page regarding this: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Meters-ANoteOnFonts_beta

It is an annoying thing, I know. But it is what it is.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.
