[comp.sys.mac.system] Truetype init yields stop sign?

poorman@convex.com (Peter W. Poorman) (05/02/91)

I've downloaded all the TrueType stuff from apple.com, and it seems to work
fine.

At startup, however, it puts up a red stop-sign-with-hand icon.  Is this what
it's supposed to do, or is something amiss?

	System: Original Mac II, Applecolor monitor
	O.S.: 6.07
	Inits: Comm Tool Box, Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Aid, SuperLaserSpool,
	       Dimmer

The Truetype init's finder icon is #0, same as the alert stopsign
icon.  Now, if your system has cicn's that correspond to the alert
icons, Truetype will use those instead of the ICON resources.  Drove
me up the wall until I dumped some of the code to find out what was
going on...

Your solution?  Add a color version of the Truetype icon, or patch the
icon display code itself (not difficult, actually).
