Can anybody explain to me what's wrong? In Hypercard 2.0, I am using fields with different fonts. I set the font using the field's info dialog box. So far so good. The problem is that evry time I compact the stack, one of the fields always reverts to the palatino font. I want it to be in moscow (russian) font, but it won't stay. What's is going on? Thanks for any clues Alex alex@eleazar.dartmouth.edu

Your problem with fonts not sticking in stacks after compaction is not a new one. It happened a lot with the beta releases of HC2.0 First , make sure you have v 2.0 or v2.0v2 of HC Second, hold the option key down whilie compacting, That will rebuild the stacks font tables. If that don't work, you've got a font confilict , possibly. Is the Moscow font installed on your system or in the stack? Try renumbering Moscow with ResEdit or any font harmony utility. Good luck. tom Benedict

I There is a known bug in HyperCard 2.0 where fonts that don't exist in the system file can be "compacted out" of the stack. It is fixed in 2.0v2, which Claris is now shipping. -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |

Actually, the key combination to hold down is cmd-option, and you need to hold it down during the whole compaction. Some stacks got a corrupted font table from a bug in 2.0, and doing the aforementioned will rebuild the font table. You only need to do this once.
