Two questions, which may (probably) have been answered before, so email gratefully appreciated: 1) A copy of HC 2.0 was recently donated, sans doc. I tried installing the HC 2.0 fonts, but keep getting a message fonts are missing. What am I missing? 2) How do I reset the user level to 5 (scripting) without buying anything? (I think this has been answered before)? Thanks in advance. David Kaufmann INTERNET: david@bourbon.ee.tulane.edu

Be sure you installed the fonts in your active system, not another system file somewhere other that in your System Folder. Be sure you have installed the sizes specified in the "missing fonts" error message. I don't know what fonts are included in the HC2.0 fonts - the fonts specified in the error message are standard Mac system fonts, anyway. >2) How do I reset the user level to 5 (scripting) without buying >anything? (I think this has been answered before)? You can always type "set the userlevel to 5" in the message box. Or go to the last card of the standard Home stack and type "magic" into the message box. -- * Rob Weinberg, graphics & publishing ***** Does a falling tree make a sound * * {uunet,pyramid}!infmx!robertw ***** if 1: no one hears it * * => Ask me about me. ***** BUT 2: it is not known that * * => Ask Informix about Informix. ***** no one hears it? *

On startup, HC 2.0 checks for: Courier 10, 12 Geneva 10, 14 Helvetica 18, 24 Palatino 10, 12, 14, 18, 24 It does this by the use of a handler called "checkForMissingFonts" which is in the script of the home stack. You can remove this check fairly easily. Open the script of the home stack. You will find the following right near the top: on startUp -- Requires handler: getHomeInfo,checkForMissingFonts -- gets and sets the user's preferences getHomeInfo -- audio Palette startup if there is a stack "Audio Help" then -- F start using stack "Audio Help" -- F send "startSound" to stack "Audio Help" -- F end if checkForMissingFonts -- inform user of missing fonts pass startUp -- so others can use it end startUp either delete or comment out the tenth line; "checkForMissingFonts...". Hypercard will no longer perform this check. chaz -- Someone please release me from this trance. clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone
