Most times I get into the DPaint III font requester to select a new font, and view other fonts, etc. I get Guru'd. Is this something that has been fixed by EA? Also, when I print a landscape picture on my 180 dpi paintjet from DPaintIII, the scaling makes the output look very blocky and LOOOWWWWW res. Any ideas on improving this output? -- Tony -- Tony Parkhurst ( tony@hp-sdd.HP.COM ) "Is this Hell? Or is this Texas?" "Both" -- Heinlein, _J_O_B: _A _C_o_m_e_d_y _o_f _J_u_s_t_i_c_e

I use DPaint III daily and have never had a font requester Guru. 1. Are you running background tasks? There may be contention. 2. Are there fonts in your font directory? Have you tried reASSIGNing to another directory to see if the Guru happens in the same manner? 3. When does it Guru, after typing a new directory? 4. Have you tried running Workbench 1.3 FIXFONTS utility to see if the problem is in the *.font files (the headers)? We need more information to help you with your problem. > Also, when I print a landscape picture on my 180 dpi paintjet from > DPaintIII, the scaling makes the output look very blocky and LOOOWWWWW > res. Any ideas on improving this output? > -- Tony Are you using 1.2 or 1.3? You can't do alot about it in 1.2. 1.3 has many more options for setting aspect ratios, multiply, dither, etc. Check your preferences settings and double-check if the correct printer driver is selected. With 1.3 you have a fair amount of control over these factors. \_ Julie Petersen (LadyHawke@cup.portal.com) )\_ _/ portal!cup.portal.com!LadyHawke `/)\_ __ // __ _____________________________________________ `\\)\_ / '~// /// `\\//\\/|'//' /// "TimeLords aren't supposed to interfere."

I have not noticed this problem on DPaint III 2.99 or DPaint III 3.01, but
what would make a difference is if your fonts are smatter all over. I have
hard drives on my Amiga and make this assigment at power up:
assign fonts: DH1:fonts
after that everything works fine. It takes Dpaint along time to get the font
list, because there's about 8 Meg of usable fonts (non scalable of course).
Try making that assignment or using the fonts of the disk you booted. It's
worth a try.
(I wonder if it takes more RAM than you have to list all those fonts. nah.)
