Tom, There seems to be a problem with the "Compugraphic Font Control" in the "Preferences" menu of Professional Page (v 1.31). I have a 1-meg Agnus and 8-meg of FASTram (just to get that out of the way.) If I adjust the "Max RAM Cache Size", the "Max CHIP Cache Size", and the "Max Disk Cache Size", usually to double them, and then load a document, the Text boxes in the document indicate overflow (the backwards "L" in the lower right hand corner). The same thing happens with a new document: a 2" x 6" text box with ONE 12-point character in it indicates overflow ! This also is the first time I have seen the "disappearing box" problem. After adjusting the "Compugraphic Font Control", I clicked on a box with the text cursor and it popped onto the Art Board below. I've worked on 6 major projects with ProPage 1.31 before this, and never had a box slip under. The problem with the "Compugraphic Font Control" DID exist on those first 6 projects. Why am I bringing it up now? I just installed your new "CGT" file (it went to the correct place, BTW), and the problem is still there. I experienced lockups when initially printing with CG fonts, but rebooting would solve the problem (it seemed to be related to building the CGCache). Later, the lockup problems vanished. I assume that with the new "CGT" file, they will not re-occur. Professional Page (and Professional Draw, and TranScript) are terrific programs, even with their minor "personality flaws". Is this problem with "Compugraphic Font Control" repairable? — Bob
