On more thing. Can you change the font using the Type->Font submenu? On 10/12/10 7:18 PM, Bart Mathias wrote:

Sigh... I'm curious, could you use Font prefs in prior releases, and can you in The debug output certainly can slow things down, but what you mentioned Can you run something like segtracker and give me the crash output? Thanks, Deron

More good news!
Subsequently to writing the above, I copied two more files from 5.0.5.7 to FontSubstitutionData and PageStream5 Fonts (Again I have the mysterious PageStream5 System Fonts I have had in the past I was able to both type into a new document again, and to type into the old I can select fonts from the Text > Fonts menu. However, selection is limited OK, no improvement there. All the fonts are listed, but selecting a I put "different" in quotes above because it's already different, in the Still no Garamond Kursiv sample... |

I have just installed 5.0.5.8 on the latest patch of OS4.1. The last time I tried V5 was with the PPC version. I am using it with Pagestream blacklisted in the Compatibility JIT list, but I don't think that is having any discernable effect. I may take it out, later. Do we get a debug output with this beta or is that just Deron's copy? The first time I run it I get an amber alert along the lines 'Font Softlogik.font is defective at glyph xxxxx. I have not had the patience to get the whole message as it only appears once and soon disappears. It does not reappear until the next time I boot Workbench and then the message appears again on starting PGS. I have been unable to add fonts with system prefs. I will try again when I have loaded the new font sets. I expect that the old format fonts are the problem. I have got to the bottom of one snaggette, yeah! By default the Select button on the toolbar is selected. Clicking on the Text (A) button gets a DSI or else the prog. may wait until one tries to create a text box before the DSI arrives. It works correctly if one deselects the Select tool and then selects the Text tool. Then text can be typed in and resized. However, even the limited range of default fonts cannot be used. Attempts to change the font to Triumverate Bold or Wedding List causes a DSI. I will let you know what happens when the new font set is installed. Opening existing documents will often work or else it causes a DSI. I think that is something to do with the font replacement requester. Again, I will see if the new font set helps at all. Does V5 look in the SYS:Fonts drawer? That may also be a snag since I have some cobwebby fonts in there. Regards PS I take no responsibility for any wierd spelling or layout of this message. OWB has its own very odd way of dealing with the message box! |

Starting with the tool bar, then the menus, I tried to make sure what works Items in tool bar: Menu items. While I was monkeying with Preferences, I found out how to fix a major In Layout, I tried only the Snap-to's which worked OK, and Set and Hide Under Type, Font works, except choices are limited by the unchangeable size I should have known better than to try Type > Insert > Character. It hung I'm not sure whether any of this is of real interest. I will stop testing at The problem might possibly have been that I was opening a file made in By the way, when opening an old file, click OK on the Font Substitution |
