#Font Prob in Modeler 3.5

I've got a strange problem in the new Modeler. I've got a VT4000/A4000-040 system with 18MB RAM. When I try to Generate Text with certain fonts I get a requester that says: "Internal buffers too small for requested operation." There is no mention of "internal buffers" in the new 3.5 documentation. (Some of the fonts that don't work are: Veracruz, Calgary, Abbess, Olnova Bold-Ital, Acclamation – actually quite a few.) Anyone experiencing this??

I get the same thing when using SDrill and Booleans to punch holes in relatively simple things. Sounds like memory allocation for a data buffer being too small. I faxed Tech Support (now that I know I'm not alone), and will let you know what I hear.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried any Booleans yet, since I just installed 3.5 the other day. Hope there's a fix since I'm gearing up for several big projects.

Yep, I got the same error the other day. I thought maybe I was freaking LW out with the Text Macro. I don't remmember hardly ever crashing LW 3.0 but recently I've had a few Gurus :^( Unfortunately I think this is the result of multi platform support, Hopefully Allens not going to neglect our Amigas.

I talked to Stuart, and he told me this is a bug, perhaps introduced with code addressing the dongle. He will fix and the fix will most likely come in a patch… it will most likely be a little while so I wouldn't call NewTek. The patch, I'm sure will be uploaded here when it is ready.

NewTek called back Friday (this is quite a shock in itself!!!) and said that the buffer problem was identified, and they were working on it. No word yet on what the fix will be or how they're going to get any changes out.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll have to go back to 3.1 to get my work done – at least for the time being.
