Jepp Flitemap - text labels, weird font sizes
Peter wrote: I wonder if anyone else sees this problem. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. But, I normally leave that option turned off. If I enable the display of cities/towns, their names appear as they should but the font size is in most cases much too big. Also, different towns get different size of font, but the allocation doesn't have much relationship to the town's size. I cannot find any way to control this - is there a way? Nope. These are database graphics, so you basically have the ability to toggle on or off. Database graphics are designed to automatically place and move pertinent information so it will be in view as you change scale or, if in the opinion of the designers some item should drop out of view at certain scales. |

Peter, I had a similar problem in FlightStar, but this one affected the obstacle icons. Sometime after upgrading to 9.01 or a recent individual nav data file, I noticed that my obstacle icons were nothing but large rectangles. I recognized that in other applications, this would be indicative of a corrupted font. Thus, I suspected that one of the upgrades somehow corrupted the font that Jeppesen uses for these obstacle icons. I called Jepp's tech support to report this problem and they agreed that a few users were having problems with font sizes/corruption after updating to a recent nav data release. They asked me to contact customer support to re-download and install the nav data file, but that didn't correct the problem. The next step was to call back and request that Jeppesen send me a CD with the latest nav data and program on it. Installing from this CD over the existing Flightstar install corrected the problem. If you haven't already, you should call their customer support and mention this problem. They should already be aware of it and should volunteer to send you the latest CD. If they don't, ask them to. Accept nothing less. :-) -- Peter |

Nope. These are database graphics, so you basically have the ability to toggle on or off. Actually, these graphics come from a font file and are placed on the map by the nav data file. Go to your Jeppesen program folder and look under the "Common" folder. There you will see a folder called Fonts. Browse each font file to see the graphics. -- Peter |
