When I add controls to my Windows CE 6.0 project in visual studio, I can choose one of the following fonts: Arial, Arial Narrow, Tahoma, Times New Roman
However when I lauch the emulator, all the labels that I chose Arial Narrow are displaying in Tahoma.
I don’t know if this is a configuration issue with the emulator. If so, I’m not sure how to correct it.
My guess is that Arial isn’t in the OS. Just becasue Visual Studio allows you select a font does not mean that the font itself is available on the device. If a font isn’t available, the OS will “select” the closest match it can to the requested font. Your best bet would be to either:
A. Get an OS image that does include the font you want (Arial is available in Platform Builder)
or
B. Find a distributable version of the font and deploy it with your app
