This, of course, is a very well known bug and has been addressed many, many
times.  But here it is again for your sake (and hopefully everyone else
who might be having the same problem).

You are having a font problem with WfW equation editor. The reason is
that WfW goofes up when installing fonts for the eq. editor. To correct,

1) Make sure your printer is attached to LPT1/2/3 (Not FILE:)

2) Reinstall the equation editor (You don't have to install other parts
   of WfW)

3) With the control panel's font tool, remove fonts "MT Extra (True Type)"
   and "Fences (True Type)". Don't delete the fonts from the disk, however.

4) With the same tool, install from .../windows/system -directory fonts
   "Fences Plain (True Type)" and "MT Extra Plain (True Type)"

5) Restart windows.

Hi

I am running Windows 3.1 amd Word 1.1.


The problem that I have is that I dont see any font list in my font
box. The font it uses by default is Times Roman.

However if I explicitly type a font name in the font box, I am 
able to use it. Does anyone one know what problem I am running in.

I am able to run all fonts in Win 3.1 let's say in Excel.



Thanks for your replies

Hi winqvtnet users,

I like winqvt except for one very annoying fact:

The screen scroll is interminably slow and painful. Especially when
listing a long file.


This may be due to:

- using the PD version of WinQvtNet
- using a 1Mb Trident graphics (non-acclerated) card
- a Windows or WinQvtNet setup 

Can anybody help?

Thanks,

I'd like to add my complaints about Stanford Graphics.  The program
has a really nice-looking advertisement, and it makes beautiful
output.  That's it.  It violates most of the rules of Windows
application design (at least if you believe there ARE rules to Windows
programming), is terribly SLOW, crashes ALL THE TIME, and has a
useless manual.
Question--does the Origin package recommended earlier in this news
thread do 3-D plots (like wireframes, contours, etc.)?  That's
what I use Stanford for at the moment, and my only alternative
is to put the data in Wingz and sort-of graph it (albeit about a
BILLION times faster!) there.

Ko, well I just recieved my NFR that Lotus sends me of all their new products.
I was thoroughly impressed.  Adding text even in bold or italics has never
created any problem for me on my system.  As to the colors... Mines not purple.
Never was, never will be.  Tis a nice middle yellow, like it was in 2.0.  You
might check to see what color scheme your windows is set for.  Thats the only 
thing that comes to my mind.  Lets see, oh, It definatly runs faster on my
machine that 2.0.  I run a 486-50 w/8 Mb ram and a Connor 130MB 13ms HD*.  But
anyway, as to any bugs... the only one I've found at all is that if you don't
have a default printer setup through windows and you save your doc and go to
another machine with a printer...the spacing comes out wrong... It has something
to do with the size that they chose for screen format, I guess.  It in IMHO
the best WP for windows there is and is definately worth the upgrade cost.  As
for buying an original?  Well, my suggestion is shop carefully.  You should be
able to find it for as little as ~140-190 dollars.  Its suggested retail to my
understanding is, oops, sorry, I can't post that, but drop me a line and I'll
send you a quote...How's that?  

* Btw, I also run a trident 1MB SVGA card in 1024x768x256 mode...  It could
  have something to do with that.

If you wait a mere week you can have a reference program for W4W (and

and we're just in the final stages of testing it. I have EndNote plus. A
bigger heap of junk I have not seen. If it were free it would be overpriced.

I think I am right in saying that the program (called WinRefer) about to
released will be "conscienceware": i.e. give some money if you like it a lot.
WinRefer works with refer format references but not CrApTeX format, so
you'll have to write a filter to take your references into refer format. It
uses the clipboard to paste reference entries and reference tags into a
document (you can paste either RTF or ascii text into a word document). There 
is even a reference formatting language so you can set up the style of 
references you like (e.g. one per journal).

WinRefer is dedicated to the downfall of EndNote Plus and all other
overpriced shite for the PC.

Yes, Trident cards in 256 colours are really slow in QVTNet, but so are any
other non-accelerated cards I've tried.  An S3 based card really flies. 
Besides the awfull mail section the scrolling speed is my only other criticism
of QVTNet.

Curiously though, if you have a long file scrolling and switch to another
telnet session the backgound window now scrolls much faster.  If you switch to
another app. it goes about as fast as you would ever want.

I recently purchased the hDC Power Launcher/fileApps package.  I haven't
been able to install fileApps.  

When I tried to install the 3-1/2" floppy version, I got a general
protection error on the second disk.  When I tried to intall the 5-1/4"
version, I got a "Not enough memory to run application" message on the
first disk.  

Has anyone else had similar problems?

I called hDC technical support.  The woman I spoke to suggested that I
remove QEMM while I did the installation, because it was sometimes flaky.
I tried that, and had the same problems with no memory managers, with
HIMEM.SYS along, and with HIMEM.SYS + EMM386.SYS.  The woman said second
level support would call me back.  

That was Wednesday.  I hadn't heard anything by Friday, so I called back
again.  No technicians were available, but they again said that someone
would call me back.  They hadn't by the time I left Friday afternoon.  I
have voicemail, so I don't think they just missed me. 

Is this typical of hDC tech support - first level doesn't know and second
level doesn't call back?

First of all, I've used Telix and found its vt100 emulation lacking
(this while running under plain-old-DOS, not in an MS-Window).  Aside
from that, it's a wonderful character-based comm program.

However, when in MS-Win, I use Windows apps.  Why?  It's easier to
cut-and-paste between windows (I do a lot of that), and overall
Windows performance is better.

Actually, what I'd really like to do is get WinQVT/Net running over
SLIP so I can do FTP transfers and have a couple of telnet sessions at
once.  Haven't gotten that one working right, yet.

We contacted our dealer and she quickly mailed a QMS driver diskette to us.
The supplied driver allows you to control the above functions.  In addition,
you can always contact the QMS head office found in your manual.

However over the last three months, I've tried about 5 different versions of
QMS-1700 drivers.  Not one were satisfying since each version has a irritating
problem.

 o Documents exceeding 6 to 8 pages were not printed in any application

 o data on the y-axis in Excel 4.0 would cause the printer to hang

When you do get your copy and are satisfied with your drivers, tell me what
version of the PSCRIPT.DRV you're using and also the *.WPD file's version
number.
