Yea, that will happen if you use a font that isn't either a standard windows font or a font that was provided with Campaign Cartographer or it's add-ons. The font isn't embedded in the map, so if it is a font I don't have, CC3+ will just use a plain replacement fort instead.

There is a save font list in the FAQ. Been a while since I updated it though, so there are some fonts from newer annuals not listed there that will be safe too.

Thanks Jim. These have been linked into the atlas now.

Thanks for another great set of maps @Ricko Hasche . They're now in the atlas.

I really love how you fill your maps with all kind of details, it really helps inspire people who might want to make detail maps from your areas.

And @Lizzy_Maracuja provides her great city map to the atlas:

It really only matters if you wish to distribute your XP. The reason for sticking with the same version as CC3+ itself uses is that users are guaranteed to have the correct libraries installed. I do believe that Joe switched over to VS 2019 for newer builds anyway, and later versions of the installable runtimes actually provide support for all newer versions, making it matter even less, so you should be able to just use the 2022 toolset without issues.

That said, to install the additional toolsets, all you have to do is to go back into the visual studio installer and modifying your installation, and under the C++ desktop development you can install the MSVC 1.42 for 2019 support, and MSVC 1.41 for 2017 support. You can see these options in my screenshot above, in the list to the far right of the dialog...

I should update that article with 2022 now being the current version. There are no real differences, but it can be annoying when the steps in the article doesn't match up 100% with the actual product. Everything when it comes to the actual code in the tutorials will be 100% identical though, it's just some minor changes to the setup.
