Font question

[Supahrob]

Ok, I have asked this before and never quite got a clear answer.

A few Bible related programs I use, require a Greek font (koine Greek to be precise). So one of them (PocketScholar I think) installs the TekniaGreek font to the fonts folder - and everything is all good. Everything works fine and all the other programs still work and look right - no big deal, exactly as you would expect.... not quite.

Google Maps, and now the new FaceBook app I just installed, insist on using the TekniaGreek font. I never told em to, they never asked - they just do. Now, oddly enough, the words are still in English, just spelled out in the Greek font - kind of phonetically, so I can read em (sorta) but it is a pain!

Anyone have any idea why this happens to only certain programs - and more importantly, is there anything I can do to make it not happen (aside from removing that font until I need to use it - not a very practical solution, more of a last resort deal)?

Take care,
Rob

I have had similar issues where Chowfun font was placed in Windows, or mayb the font folder, and started showing up in certain weird places. One was the screen alignment screen of all places. Probably on an Apache, but maybe a Titan. I believe it is because certain programs may not specify a font, but expect a certain font to be in a certain location. Maybe alphabetical? I am just guessing at this point.

hmm... that makes sense (well, it doesn't - lazy programming never does) or at least I understand the possible cause.

Any ideas for a work around?

Take care,
