Has anyone else noticed that the Font Scaling routines do not seem to work corectly anymore? I used to use Multiscribe GS 3.0 with all of the ProDOS 16 system files from a System Disk (version 3.1). I like to use a lot of different fonts, and when I chose a font of a size which was not defined by a font.file on the boot disk, then the software would make a call to the Font Manager Toolset and would scale the closest available font to the size desired. But now, after I have transfered Multiscribe GS onto a GS/OS disk, all I get is garbage when I try and select a font size which is not defined. This also occurs when I use Appleworks GS. I think that this is more correctly a problem with the Font Manager Toolset file on the GS/OS disk. Does anyone know if it would be possible to transfer the Toolset file from system disk 3.2 onto the GS/OS disk without messing up the Toolsets of the GS/OS operating system. Just curious... -- ============================================================================== ARPA: aehl@csd4.milw.wisc.edu USMAIL: Donald Aehl (608) 244-5864 UUCP: uwmcsd1!uwm-evax!aehl 5310 Chinook lane.

The font manager is the biggest bug we have around right now. There's also a random bug in it that totally trashes the font lists (in memory) so that your font menu is total & absolute garbage. We're desperately trying to get Apple to fix things with it before they even think about committing it to ROM. As for grabbing the 3.2 tools Font Manager, I wouldn't think it'd be terribly safe, but I haven't actually tried it. -- Scott Lindsey, wombat | UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!scott Product Development | Internet: scott@claris.com | AppleLink: LINDSEY1 Claris Corp. | Disclaimer: Thes are not the opinions of Claris, (415) 960-4070 | Apple, the author or anyone else living or dead.
