Interesting. I downloaded the 4.1.xxx Beta and get no fonts at all, but
I don't have anything set in Gill. If you go to File|System Preferences
is the Font option ghosted? It is on what I have here. I assumed at
first that this was symptomatic of the no-text-showing thing, but
perhaps it's just an unimplemented feature or meant for other platforms
like the Amiga. The program does recognize the existence of the fonts on
my system.
Your experience with Gill seems to be an anomaly. I just tried inserting
some Gill on a blank page. No joy. Oddly enough I can select fonts in
the Edit palette and, when the cursor is in a text frame, PageStream
remembers that the frame is supposed to be Gill. I tried pasting some
text from the clipboard, but PageStream crashed---twice. I then tried to
import text into the frame and nothing happened. Finally I opened the
document in a working version of PageStream, inserted some Gill, saved
it, and reopened it in the Beta. Again nothing there and again the Beta
knows that the frame is set to Gill. There are no characters at all in
the text frames because you can't select anything in the frame.
(In case you missed it, Deron says he's gained access to a Windows
computer which, unlike his own, exhibits the font problem. He thinks
this will allow him to kill this bug in the near future.)
Deron:
Interface issue. When you open the Edit palette pop-up font list and
type a letter in the Beta, it selects the first font beginning with that
letter and instantly closes. This is unlike the (correct) behavior in
working versions where the list scrolls to the first font beginning with
that letter and allows you to scroll the list from that point.
