Hi,

Would it somehow be possible to simply bundle the TT fonts inside the IM app/distribution, so they can be used by the client just like Custom Icons and so are done???

If the only issue is the font availability, it should be possibel to make a 'minimum' set that makes it work right.. me thinks...


  Or?

"Inconsistencies" may be a little harsh, but my clients who access my
maps using a web server are complaining that icons and text are
overlapping since my upgrade to 4.3 and the daemon mode. The font and
font size selected for the web maps is not the same as the one selected for the maps I have drawn. Is there anyway to reconcile the two outside
of editing all my maps?
In the short term, no. The problem is that the web server currently doesn't know about the font used by the client, so it uses one of three that it knows it has access to, depending on the situation.
Version 4.4 should be better in this regard. In Version 4.4, the web server will be aware of what font is being used by the client, and if it also has access to a TrueType version of the font, will use it. I can't guarantee the look in the webserver will be 100% exactly the same as the client, but at the moment it looks like it won't be more than a few pixels different, as opposed to the much larger fonts and overlapping devices you often see right now.
