Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x

Progress 9.x
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
The font changes when a combo-box data type is changed from CHARACTER to INTEGER.
CAUSE:
Unless custom fonts have been added to the Progress environment, Progress uses the MS Sans Serif proportional font for CHARACTER data type, and the Courier New fixed-space font for INTEGER/DECIMAL and DATE data types.
FIX:
This is an expected behavior. The default Progress environment specifies a set of fonts to be used with the Progress tools. On Windows, these fonts are MS Sans Serif (a proportional font) and Courier New (a fixed-space font).
If you have not added custom fonts to your environment, Progress uses these default fonts for your application. Progress uses the default proportional font for alphanumeric data, and the default fixed font for integer fields and for fields with format strings containing fill characters (such as 9 or X).
CAUTION: The Progress ADE reserves the 8 fonts (0 through 7) defined in your environment. If you change the mappings of these fonts, the ADE tools might not function properly. You can add your own application fonts, beginning with number 8.
