Summary:
When editing custom Fonts in the CitectSCADA Project Editor, Foreground and Background Colour settings are incorrectly saved with values entered for the Foreground and Background Flash colours.
 

Solution:
1. Ensure the CitectSCADA design environment is not running.
2. Open your CitectSCADA/bin/citect.frm file in a text editor.
3. Search for the string: FORM “Fonts”.
4. Change the string index for the flash colour fields as shown below:

Original:

FORM "Fonts", "Fuentes", "fonts", NONINDEX;

1: "NAME", 16, readwrite_foreign;
2: "TYPE", 31, readwrite, "HELP", "FONTTYPE";
3: "SIZE", 16, readwrite_foreign;
4: "FGND_COLR", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";
5: "BGND_COLR", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";
6: "COMMENT", 48, readwrite_foreign;
7: "FGND_COLR", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";
8: "BGND_COLR", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";

Change to:

7: "FGND_COLF", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";
8: "BGND_COLF", 16, readwrite_foreign, "HELP", "COLOUR";

5. Start CitectSCADA and fix any Fonts that were not previously saved correctly.
6. Recompile the project.
