AutoHotkey Community

Thanks for the confirmation, Lexikos, and especially the workarounds.

I updated to AHK_L yesterday, and have reworked my main script as UTF-8 (I use BabelPad for editing). The install is fresh, following a manual wiping of all AHK-related registry keys, folders and file ...

Lexikos,

Your report of the script working fine prompted me to try it again today, and to my surprise it now works. I presume the code was broken in the older version of AutoHotKey I'd been using, ...

Hi all. I mainly use Autohotkey to quickly type accented and otherwise obscure Unicode glyphs not normally accessible via the keyboard (e.g. macrons and dots over or under characters, etc).

The bas ...

It's time to wrap up this thread, then. I've got the trick down a tee for loading and unloading fonts on the fly (instantly, too - no delay) without rebooting, or mucking about with the windows font f ...

I think I've got it!

The following routines seem to work, and instantly too (they update a word processor's font menu even when its running). For testing, CTRL-SHIFT-Y (install) and CTRL-SHIFT-U (u ...

If I understood the last posts ...

@majkinetor
thanks for the suggestion. It's the same script as quoted by BoBo a few posts up, in which broadcasting the change is still the problem.

@PhiLho
Funny, I also gandered over to msdn af ...

I woudn't move/register an installed ttf, but would simply rename it (or change its attributes) to something the system/app will ignore if should so.)
The problem with that is that whilst the font it ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that registry hack. Once the registry file is merged, opening the windows font folder should in theory update the system's font structure and make the new ...

Thanks guys

@PhiLho
I came across FontLoader while trying to solve this. Interesting little app, and it loads the fonts instantly, too (also has a choice between loading temporarily and installing ...

This is an amazing forum; fittingly so for the amazing autohotkey. Seeing as you lot appear to be the bees' knees in terms of knowing about obscure apps, I'd like to hazard one request.
