Hey! I got cut off!

A common reported problem:
I downloaded my project and my text is cut off at the end.

This usually happens when the HMI uses it own default fonts instead of the ones used to develop the project. Some things to try/check out.
1. Be sure the font box is checked when downloading a project.
2. Be sure the font box is checked when compiling a project.
3. Be sure there is a "font" sub-folder in the EB8000 folder and that you have security clearance to get to it. (...\EB8000\font)
4. Be sure all of the text was actually entered in the project to begin with.

  1. I've know this for a long time, but often wonder why they don't compile the font files into the project file. Odd choice by the developers to place some of the compiled data in one location and the rest somewhere else. We often develop on on PC and download from another so we have set up a batch program to sync the fonts folders over the network automatically. In this way we avoid the confusion.
