Change UltraVNC font to "MS Shell Dlg"

[X-Byte]

You are using the font "MS Sans Serif" in almost every of your UltraVNC server and UltraVNC client windows/dialog boxes.

The big drawback of this font: it's a bitmap font, which cannot be enhanced by Windows XP's ClearType feature, thus giving a pixeled look on modern flatscreens, when ClearType is enabled.

Please consider using the Microsoft default font "MS Shell Dlg" instead. This automatically resolves to "Tahoma" on modern Windows systems or "MS Sans Serif" on old Windows systems. This preserves compatibility while giving a nice and smooth look on modern cleartyped flatscreen systems.

Thank you for the big problem of many users reported about some caracters unreadable
You was figured out the relevant the problem about what we don't know explain the issue

Hope would be fixed.

Great that this suggestion will also coincidentally fix the password field issue

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, a simple search&replace over the whole project's sourcecode should do the job

Seems like the suggestion didn't make it into the 1.0.2 release?
The font issue in combination with the password field display problems still persists

Yep. Sorry. I missed this one

Gonna make the modif asap so it will be in v1.0.3 (coming soon)

[X-Byte]

That's right. As I explained in my first post:

This automatically resolves to "Tahoma" on modern Windows systems or "MS Sans Serif" on old Windows systems.

So this is just a virtual font name, used by developers.

now, is really clear, thank you for the hint about virtual font name
Hope this really fixed to 1.0.3
