[comp.sys.mac.system] Weird application/menu problem

ndg503@csc.anu.oz.au (11/26/90)

Hi,

    I have a strange problem that occurs on both my mac at work and at
home. It affects MacDraw II, Canvas 2.1 and RSG 4.5a. The problem is
that when I start up the application, it displays an untitled window,
but the letters in the title to this window are both squashed and spread
out at the same time. Further all the menus are affected as well with
the same problem making it impossible to use the package.

    My configuration is : IIcx 2/40, 6.0.7, no inits, Moire, Virtual and 
SAM Intercept. RSG is set as 1024k for application memory. I tried with
both the Ram Cache on and off. I have also removed all my cdevs, and
nearly everything else from my System Folder with no success.

    When I look at the MENU resources in the RSG file under ResEdit I
get the following: There is no mctb resource for this MENU, would you
like to create one. Is this a problem? In fact what does it mean?
Can anyone help with all this?

Thanx in advance...

Hi,

Thanx to all those who replied. They actually led me to right
conclusion. What I did was to remove the Chicago entries in the
FONT and FOND resources in the System using ResEdit.

These are in fact not necessary for SE's and later machines as
they already reside in ROM.

Has anybody figured out why Font/DA Mover still requires you
to have them in there anyway?
