This is my continuing battle with fonts for PgS. Running 5.05.8 pro on Windows 7.  The system fonts obviously were changed from XP, but I keeping finding fonts in MS Word and in Photoshop that don't show up in the system fonts folder used by PageStream.  Is there anyway to access those fonts or do I have to download then into as useable folder?

I also hate what Yahoo has done to the forum.

You need to find where they are stored and just add the font path. The
other possibility is that they are bitmap fonts or some other format
that PageStream does not support.

Sorry to break in here.Over a year ago my computer was seriously hacked. Since then I haven't been able to generate any contact with Pagestream support. I thought it had just disappeared. Even with a new computer I could raise nothing current about Pagestream. I have continued using the program. I was delighted when this communication appeared in my e-mail. I have a current problem

About a week ago, I was using Pagestream when Windows7 decided it was updating my computer. For some reason I didn't find a Window to refuse the update. After updating was finished, 4 updates had been installed. A reboot was required.

Tried to return to Pagestream, I could do nothing with Pagestream. I start Pagestream, but get no work screen. Sometimes one of input or information windows appear, but disapear when the pointer is moved over it. The only thing I can do is close the program.

I have tried several things: Deleting and reinstalling the program. still the same behavior
I remember that some users needed to change a startup file. I can't locate one on my computer. Must be looking in the wrong place.
I have tried searching for the Pagestream window on the edges of the screen. No luck this time.

I have searched pagestream.org. Found nothing
I have tried PageStreamSupport@yahoogroups.com, but can't access it.

I need help!!!!! Please

It sounds like your PgS profile has an invalid window position so that everything is being produced off screen. There are two ways this can be approached, and both involve the prefs file.

1. Edit the prefs file to remove the erroneous lines from them

2. Rename or delete the prefs file and run PgS to start things over again

In the latter case I would just rename the prefs file -- that way you could just copy some of the information back into it from the original file (I'm thinking registration). But either way it works.

The location of the prefs file on Windows is something like: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\PageStream5\PageStream5.ini

The directory AppData is normally hidden so to see it in the file manager you will have to change Windows preferences. As I hardly use Windows anymore I'm afraid some of the details of how to do this aren't ready to mind.

In pagestream's fonts setting is there a 

C:\Windows\Fonts

in the dialog that opens?

if not add that path and click update. then check your font list

Sorry it's taken so long to respond,  but have been tied up for several weeks (remodeling my son's house). So far have solved most of the problems; still fighting with a couple of fonts that  I've downloaded.  Appreciate all the help

Don Castonia

Just a thankyou for your replies. I now have a working Pagestream.
