On the C-more Micro, support of using Windows fonts for non-english languages (Russian Cyrillic for example) is advertised. This does work well on many display objects. However, you cannot specify and use these fonts on alarms or look up text. Also, numeric entry objects have canned english text popups (out of range, etc) that cannot be customized for the end user as well. These issues are major shortcomings that are preventing my company from using this display for international projects. European CE standards require HMI texts to be in the end user language, and this issue with the C-More is becoming a major stumbling block for us. Please consider enhancing the product to better handle international fonts/languages. Also, the limit of only having 16 alarms is a major shortcoming as well. This is a great little display that has a tremendous bang for the buck. Addressing the above issues would better allow it's use internationally.
