When I boot HyperCard 2.0, I always get a modal dialog "ok" box that tells me I don't have Helvetica 24 and Palatino 24 in my system. I am using ATM, which makes everything look fine anyway, but... I dislike this modal dialog. WHERE can I get Helv24 and Pal24??? Help?! Can someone suggest something or point me in the right direction? (I realize this is a minor concern, but it's starting to feel a bit like water torture...) :-) Thanks. Randy Padawer Justin_Randall_Padawer@cup.portal.com

It will look something like this: on startUp -- Requires handler: getHomeInfo,checkForMissingFonts -- gets and sets the user's preferences getHomeInfo checkForMissingFonts -- inform user of missing fonts . . pass startUp -- so others can use it end startUp Comment out or remove the line that begins with "checkForMissingFonts".

[regarding commenting out the checkForMissingFonts handler] Curiousity question: Why does HC 2.0 do this check? Are all the stacks really ugly with Palatino :-) I haven't had a chance to install my 2.0v2 upgrade yet... .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {crash tcnet}!orbit!pnet51!pj | RTFD = Read The Silly Doc! | | INET: pj@pnet51.orb.mn.org | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
