Interleave Annotation Characters with Graphics Grid Lines in WinDaq

Occasionally, we come across a scenario where WinDaq doesn’t look quite right (see below).

In order to interleave annotation characters with graphics grid lines, WinDaq acquisition and WWB both use fixed fonts from file C:\Windows\Fonts\coure.fon. This is not distributed with our application because it is normally installed as part of Windows. That folder is hidden, and the file may be hidden as well. While logged on as an Administrator, click Start, Programs, Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and click run as Administrator. To list the hidden fixed font files type:

C:\Windows>CD \Windows\Fonts

C:\Windows\Fonts>DIR *.fon

C:\Windows\Fonts>DIR *.fon /A:H

If you are missing this file, create an empty folder and download www.dataq.com/support/downloads/misc/coure.zip to that folder. Unzip it to extract coure.fon into C:\Windows\Fonts .
