Does anyone know whether or not the TrueType INIT and fonts will
work with System 6.0.5? I tried switching to 6.0.7 some time ago
but there were too many crashes, so I went back to 6.0.5.
Thanks,

There is an alert within the TrueType INIT that says "TrueType requires System 6.0.5 or greater" although everywhere else I read says that 6.0.7 is needed. Since I am running 6.0.7, I didn't test 6.0.5 compatibility. By the way, the TrueType INIT is in the StyleWriter and the LaserWriterLS installation disks. (If you have Unix unstuffit, you can save yourself the trouble of downloading the whole disk and just take the INIT.)

Since I am running 6.0.7, I didn't test 6.0.5 compatibility. On my 6.0.5 system, TrueType seems to work OK, but the new LaserWriter Chooser file bombs when I try to print. On the other hand, this may be because I don't have a LaserWriter (or AppleTalk, for that matter), but I'd like to be able to print PostScript to disk like you could with the old driver. Then again, maybe I just have a bad copy -- can someone else with my same setup or the rough equivalent try it?

(SE/30, 2 MB RAM, 6.0.5...) On a Plus with 4MB RAM and 6.0.5 TrueType seems to work fine except under Multifinder. For some reason, the menu is scrunched (technical term :-)) to about 5 pixels high. Not very interface-friendly, but it still works. Anyone know: 1. Why Apple states that 6.0.7 is required? (and enforces it in the installer?) 2. Why this error occurs? If MBarHeight is getting clobbered, I hate to think what else down there is. Any ideas are welcome. -- Bryan Morse University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill morse@cs.unc.edu Department of Computer Science

I guess it was because I installed it manually as I didn't want the printer driver for printers I don't have. TrueType works fine with my IIx and 6.0.5 and Imagewriter II. -- Ian Chai Internet: chai@cs.ukans.edu Bitnet: 2fntnougat@ukanvax
