odd font problem

[Phillip M. Jones, CE.T.]

Today I openned several excel files I had, at the same time. (none very large)

as Excel was loading I received a series of messages about fonts being corrupt.
Noticing some had names of Fonts on my OS9 Partition I shut Excel down. Then I
removed fonts from OS9 folder on my OS9 Parition. Then logged out and back in. This
time excel gave notice it was optimizing fonts. and openned fine.

After I got through I quite excel place fonts back in system folder and openned
Classic and Ran ATM I then did font check showin only minor problems (having to do
with truType Fonts being in the same folder as Screen fornts/bitmapped fonts. But
no corruptions.

I then quit Classic and Ran FontDoctorX there were no problems with anything on OSX.
There wereno corruptions on OS9 Fonts but there were some outdated items and other
items that could be repaired if FontDoctorX was not in demo mode.

There was references to items with misssing postscript or Bitmapped fonts that can
be corrected by moving to a hold folder not in the system. Still no corruptions.

Many of these I feel have to do with the possibility they are TrueType.

I shut down the computer to do some errands.

on openning tonight I openned Excel and no notices about corrupt fonts.

anyone have any ideas?

opening word did get the optimizing fonts message.

Hi Phillip,

There was references to items with misssing postscript or Bitmapped fonts
that can be corrected by moving to a hold folder not in the system. Still
no corruptions.

That's mostly an issue when you want to be able to properly display AND
print a font. Not a corruption per se.

Many of these I feel have to do with the possibility they are TrueType.

Yeah, it makes sense.

It could have been a corruption in the Office font cache. Since Excel
rebuilt it, the problem disappeared.

PS: your messages appear a bit funky to me in MacSoup. For some reason,
the lines don't wrap properly. Did you set Mozilla not to wrap lines at
72 characters ???

Supposed to be at 72 That's what it set at.

Maybe next time I'll just dump that file.

) html is even worse in MacSoup ) the app doesn't even try to
interpret the code:->
MacSoup is great for proper representation of the threads, but there are
clearly some improvements that could be made....
