#CG Font Control
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?
