To recap, in the Read Me file for TrueType, a error in MacWrite II was mentioned in which TrueType fonts over 127 pts would not display properly. And additional error in the Reduced View was also discovered, and mentioned on the net by myself and Laurence. Today, I got through to Claris Technical Support and spoke to a tech about the problem, as recommended by the Read Me file. The response: "Claris is aware of the problem, and we are looking into solutions. I can't really say much than that." Granted, this reeks of "there's things in the works that I can't talk about," but that's their perogative. The thing that bothers me is that I had to call Claris Tech Support to find this out. This is something that could have -easily- been put in the TrueType Read Me file - especially now that Claris is part of Apple again. <sigh> -- Jim Gaynor - Systems Analyst 1 + "This is Serious.

Yeah but most of Apple still treats Claris as an outside company. If they started mentioning Claris products in the system software notes the other software developers would cry bloody murder - and with good reason. -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

That self-same Read Me file also mentioned TrueType problems with Microsoft Word, and the fix for said problems. All that they needed to say was that Claris knew of the problem and was working on it. I don't think that would have breached the OS/App wall... -- Jim Gaynor - Systems Analyst 1 + "This is Serious. He is Lost.
