TPDesign4 (v3.2 or higher)
True Type Font Support
Since G4 panels have the ability to decode and display Windows True Type Font files (TTF), TPD4 directly
utilizes TTF files.
Fonts are presented in the Properties window (States tab), as well as the Button Selection/Draw toolbar and
the Add Page and Add Popup Page dialogs.
The TTF files listed represent those TTF files installed in Windows with their available point sizes.
Complex Script Support
For page and button state text properties, TPDesign4 supports complex script languages (to the extent that the
True Type font currently selected for that state supports the language in question).
These languages include (but are not limited to) Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devangari.
Complex-script rendering is supported on the following panel types:
MX-Series panels
MVP-9000i
MVP-5150/5100
MVP-5200i
NXD-430/435
NXD-500i
Formatting Codes
Formatting codes can be used in the text for Bargraph and Multi-State Bargraph buttons. The following
formatting codes will be replaced with the identified values:
$P - level percentage
$V - raw level value
$L - range low
$H - range high
$A - adjusted level value (raw level value - range low)
$R - range (range high - range low)
$$ - $ character
Most languages can be entered into the state property field via the Windows
language bar.
However, some languages (notably Hindi and Tamil) are not supported by code-
pages. These languages will display ??? for characters entered via the language bar,
even if the selected font supports the language.
However, text in these languages can still be pasted via the clipboard or via the
Alt-<Scan Code> method.
