Fonts Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

In Windows Embedded Compact 2013, you can add support for many different font styles to your OS design.

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can also add fonts that support scripting languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.

For more information on adding or removing catalog items, see Create Your First OS.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Note

In Windows Embedded Compact 2013, memory requirements for Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman fonts have increased significantly due to added character support. For an OS with limited storage space, we recommend that you verify the font file size before you install a font.
