Hi Barry, it might be a permissions thing and Zebra isn't able to read all its data folder correctly. Take a look at the suggestions in this thread: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=306890

You need Lucida Sans Unicode on your system:

C:\Windows\Fonts\l_10646.ttf

This is usually installed on Windows, but we've seen cases where it disappeared.

Hi URs..
I'm sorry to say, but that wont work either..
I installed (lucida-sans-unicode-ttf-130861) as well the l_10646.ttf (again), but none of them worked!
I uninstalled the plugin, and installed on another drive, but with no luck..
I don't know what the problem is, but i don't get the point while other plugins works perfect...
I have many plugins installed, so i dont want to install windows again.
It will cost me couple days to install everything again Sad

Hmmm. I don't know about "Lucida Sans Unicode Standard". C:\Windows\Fonts\l_10646.ttf should just work though, with any TrueType font renamed to that. At least, this has usually fixed the issue. Thus I'm sorry if I can't help you here.

This comes up often as of late, so we've decided to do fonts in a completely different way in future. We hope to have an update for Zebra around July that is independent of system fonts.

Any help appreciate!

I think it is an windows related problem, due rights or something, but i cant find the problem Sad
Why does u-he using its own font?
Is it possible i can try to change the font used in the plugin(s), just to look what it does?
I know the "font" is in the data map, i try'd to install the font as link, but also as normal install.. No change so far..
(Windows says also that its installed allready)

Have you downloaded something like SAVihost: http://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm or Cantabile Lite: http://www.cantabilesoftware.com/lite/ to make sure it's not a problem with u-he and FLstudio? If none of those apps work there's a good chance it's something to do with how the u-he plugs are installed (or windows). If they do work then it's something to do with FLStudio <-> Zebra.

Well, i would install it to try, but i'm for sure its not gonna work..
I try'd it in cubase as well in fl, and ableton a hour ago but all does the same >
It will load up the zebra/ace plugin, but no text.
There is text in the default skin in the upper part, perform/synthesis/patches, but when i switch to dark horse skin eve that text is gone :S
can it be an service in windows wich i disabled?
last week i did some tweaks on windows 7, like disabling services wich i dont use, can it be something in that?
