freney Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hiya, I've been trying to insert some apparatus symbols into a user note from the character palette, but they keep being inserted as funny symbols in whatever font I'm using at the time. I can't then select MSS from the font menu (I have the 'Use default fonts in font menu' selection checked), as it's not there. How do I get the MSS font in this case (without going to the preferences and un-checking this option each time I want to add a character)? Thanks, Sam.

Helen Brown Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 We are looking at this issue. We have already fixed the entry from the Character palette which was reported earlier on the Forum. We cannot reproduce the menu problem. Use Default Fonts loads all Accordance fonts and the default fonts you have selected for new User Notes, and selecting MSS does convert the characters correctly. Could you be using an old version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you be using an old version? My Accordance version is 8.0.5, I'm running on a Macbook 2.0 GHz, OS X 10.4.11. The list of fonts I get is (in this order): Helvetica Times New Roman Helena Yehudit Rosetta Sylvanus Peshitta Salaam No MSS font. If I have everything set to come up in the font window then I can find and select MSS, and it displays correctly. This choice, of course, renders the font palette practically useless. Interestingly, if I'm not currently editing a user note (just in the main window) all installed fonts are displayed in the menu, not just the default ones. Not sure if this is normal behaviour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 We still are unable to reproduce this. Please try running the FontFixer utility. Are you using any special font management software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
