We use many composer documents in assembly, on the shop floor we use laptops and remote into a machine - One of the new machines is having an issue where all of the font is 8 - no matter what the original file is, no matter what style I set in the original file - as soon as I open the file the font is 8. I fixed this once in the past, but now I cannot remember how... Anyone have any ideas?
Hello,
1. Verify that the font used in SOLIDWORKS Composer project is present on the computer as Jim Steinmeyer suggest.
2. Try to reset SOLIDWORKS Composer settings on this machine.
Go to ->Regedit->Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dassault Systemes\Composer - rename/delete this key and run again SOLIDWORKS Composer to generate new registry key.

Hi Kajetan
"Composer" is not a key! Its a directory.
In the Composer directory there is a subdirectory "preferences " with about 100 keys or more. All you have to do is delete the "preferences" directory, where all settings and document properties are specified!
If you do so, and composer dont find this subdirectory while starting, he creates this directory from scratch with the standard settings.
Hello Dirk,
You are right, not a key but directory. Little slip of the tongue
Any way, james demarco please try to delete/renamte this directory.

I guess my first question is does the machine on the floor have the font style in it? I know we sometimes have problems opening drawings from somewhere else if our machine doesn't have the required font.
