Forgive me if you have seen this message before.
I believe the news software rejected it the first time.
I have a question about the new 4.1 system. I have an INIT I wrote
that put a value in SysFontFam ($BA6). I prefer to use a font I
designed myself, rather than Chicago, for the system font.
The problem is that the new system is putting 0 (for Chicago) back
in SysFontFam. It happens during a launch I believe. I have
searched the beta IM5 and believe that it is the script manager or
something related to this new feature. I think that itlb or itlc
must have the system font (smSysScript?) for the US (Roman) script.
Does anyone know what I have to do to make my font agreeable to the
system? This is only for my own computer and will never be
distributed with any program or product.
By the way, it seems we are about due for a new ResEdit version or
at least some templates, etc. Any one heard anything?
Thanks...Please reply to me and I will report back if anyone else is
interested.
