Piping FAQ
Q. My program is warning me that my security key could not be found.
The QuoteSoft Piping program uses specific fonts to show fractions (¼, ½, ¾). If you have a workstation unable to view these fonts please click the link below, save the file, open the ZIP file and run the installer.
Express Piping Fonts Installer
After clicking the above link choose to run or open the file. Once the download is completed the ZIP file will open. Double click to run the Piping_Fonts.exe installer.
The installer will place the following fonts in your C:\Windows\Fonts directory…
qpsa.fon
qpss.fon
qpss1.ttf
qpss2.ttf
**UPDATED – Added to the latest version of the Express Piping system (v. 2.5R8) is an option to disable the font fractions. Instead of using the symbol for ¼ the report will show 1/4. Upon running your excel report check the box to disable the fonts and your report will show simple fractions. See image below.
If you would like to set this option as the default, return to the MainMenu and open Configuration. Go to the System Tab and check the box that will default the export to simple fractions. See image below.
