Subject: System 7 Monaco TrueType doesn't print correctly
Date: 25 Jan 93 19:18:41 GMT
Reply-To: chh9@midway.uchicago.edu
Organization: University of Chicago Computing Organizations

The Monaco TrueType font contains an error.  Monaco is supposed to be a
monospaced font, but the characters do not align correctly.  The space
character is printed at different widths, throwing off character alignment.
I have observed this under System 7.0, 7.0.1, and 7.1.  The problem occurs
on the ImageWriter II, StyleWriter II, and LaserWriter.  The programs I
have tried are BBEdit, Microsoft Word 4.0 (with or without fractional
widths), and WriteNow 3.0 (with or without fractional widths).

Here is an example.  Note that the '{' characters are aligned with the first
character of the previous line.  But when this is printed, the '{'
character is shifted to the left.

        for (j = 0L; j < si[i]->memcnt - 2; j += 3)
        {   
            for (k = 0L, val = 0L; k < 3; ++k)
            {   
                val <<= 2;
                switch (seq[j+k])
                {   case 'C':

Organization: The World @ Software Tool & Die
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 05:18:09 GMT

Hi there folks...

Well, one day I was working on my address database in FileMaker Pro v2.01
and running it on system 7.1. I made a lot of modifications and everything
was just dandy. I saved it (or it automatically saved it), and I worked
some more on it the next day. The day after, FMPro bombs before it gets
past the SPLASH screen. "Bad F-line" or no system error shown, just
lock-up. Only option is to RESTART.

If I start up under 7.01, then everything is fine. I thought I had
solved the problem when I re-installed sys 7.1 and cleaned things up,
and it must've just been coincidence, because the problem is back.

HELP? Anyone else had this problem?

I have 4 1MB sims and 4 4MB sims to install in a IIci,
I am currently using the on board video.
I was told to put the 4mb in bank b and the 1 mb in bank A
I was told if I was using an external video card to reverse the above!

Anyways when I boot 7.0.1 it works ok if I am in 32 bit, but if I turn
off the 32 bit and reboot it claims that the system is taking almost 16mb!

I would like to be able to access 8 mb with 32 bit off to be able to run
some incompatible programs.  Any idea what im doing wrong?? any help would be
greatly apprecaited. bob

I'm running 6.0.8 on my Plus at home (down from 7.0.1 -- it's MUCH
better for the plus/Imagewriter combination). Some kind soul (sorry,
lost your name and address)  sent me OMEGA Sane and the desk-top
manager. Omega worked OK, but the DTM kept losing the connection
between documents and applications (wrong level, maybe?).  I'd really
like to download these goodies myself, so I can re-check to find
updates, see if there's any documentation, etc.

Anybody know where I can find these extensions?  I've looked all over
ftp.apple.com and sumex-aim, but no go.  All suggestions welcome

No Pam,

You didn't break anything.  You've merely been afflicted with the Curse of  
the IISi.  This machine seems to have numerous problems with the sound.   
Some people have suggested cleaning the speaker contacts.  The only  
permanant solution is to buy you a set of Walkman speakers to plug into  
your sound output jack.  

This problem is an AIDES problem (Apple Induced DEfectS).  They know  
there's a problem, but since they all ready have your money they don't  
care. 

By the way, I don't think I would take my machine to the idiots that  
suggested replacing the sound chip.  They probably aren't competent to do  
it, and even if they are they would be ripping you off.  I might look for  
another service outlet.

Just how are you rebooting your Mac? I only see those kinds of problems
when I have a crash and have to manually restart the computer to unfreeze
it.

No clue, but I've never had problems with that kind of information being
saved if I use the Restart and Shut Down commands in the Special Menu.

You could have a corrupted Finder Prefs file I suppose.

It's there, really!  It's just a bit out-of-the-way.

Standard disclaimers.
Make sure you have a good backup copy of the original.

Open AppleShare in ResEdit.
Double-click on DITL.
Double-click on ID -902.

From the DITL menu, choose Select Item Number...

You'll then see a box asking Select which item?
(Between 1 and N)
	N=8 for AppleShare 2.0.2 (System 6)
	N=9 for AppleShare 3.0.0 (System 7)

Enter 8.  [Nothing appears to happen.]

Now, from the Resource menu, choose Open as Dialog Item

See the little box in the lower left that says Enabled?
Click it to make the X go away.

One more thing:
Since it's notverynice to give subtly modified software to users,
increase the Right: edge from 322 to 354, and add  (Disabled)
to the end of the Text: string.  [You might also want to leave
"footprints" in vers, while you're at it.]

Close and save.

Try the ShareWare app called ESCapade.  It lets you command-(letter) the first
letter of the buttons to 'click' them.  It's a good program.  (geez, I
better send in the shareware fee...).
You can also TAB from button to button.  You're hands rarely leave the
keyboard.

Hope this helps!

The printer connects via a serial port. If appletalk is running on
your mac, you have the option of offering it to the network (even will
password controlled access) Your machine then sends out the proper
packets (on localtalk) to allow the printer to show up in the chooser.

To install Swedish 7.1 on a PB180, I did a MINIMAL english install with the
disks that came with the pb, and then did an update with the Swedish install
disks.  The reason for this is that the Swedish disks for 7.1 from the 
developer's CD do not contain the system enabler, the autoremounter cdev,
or he powerbook display cdev.  

It was then a trivial exercise to delete the non-swedish duplicate items left
in the system folder.

There's probably a good reason for that: folders are not files on a Mac.

No. They are in an invisible file in the folder. On my Mac it's called
"Symbol", but it's a Danish system. US and other systems may differ.
The file only exists when the folder has a custom icon. You can see it
from ResEdit's standard file dialog.

For fun, try to delete the file and then try to paste a new icon in
"Get Info". With the Danish system 7.0.1 this produced a totally
ungrammatical and not entirely incomprehensible error message.
(I haven't tried with 7.1, though)

Poking around futher, I find that the problem isn't limited to control

Try using the Pictuce command under the Insert menu. Word 5.x now
imports EPS and PICT graphics directly. The clipboard format (a PICT
format) may be modifying the files.

Don't use WD-40. For one it smells, and the second reason is that I don't think it would do much good to your keyboard. Use Dust Off, thats a compressed air type aerosol (ozone friendly!). If this doesn't work, I`ve actually spilt coffee on my keyboard, and washed it out with clean water and left it to dry. No problems.
