One of our lecturers has developed some tutorial software in Microsoft's
Quick Basic for Mac and it uses a couple of different fonts to
highlight certain parts of the information displayed. Lately, on seemingly
equivalent Macs, the font control goes away and all text looks the same.
We have tried changing the fonts used in the desktop and varying the
boot disk (system 6.05 and 6.07) used with the machines (Mac SE's and
LC's) without success. What else is there to try?
I'm new to BASIC but not to Macs. If this problem were happening in
any MAC program, I would say what a couple of folks did about being
sure you have the same fonts loaded in each machine. Another way to
find this out is to use Font/DA Mover to see what fonts are installed
in each of your systems. You can use Font/DA Mover to attach fonts to
the program itself instead of relying on their being available in the
System. That's probably the safest thing, if you are going to port
the program to different machines and are using nonstandard fonts.
