In "The Dead Mac Scrolls" by Larry Pina it says that the ROM chips may be  
reversed, backwards or otherwise incorrectly installed.  This causes exactly  
the symptoms you reported.  Did you recently do a disk drive/ROM upgrade or a  
SCSI upgrade?

Subject: 6.07 fonts w/system 7.0.1
Summary: Can I use my old font?
Keywords: fonts
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1993 21:35:31 GMT

I just installed System 7.0.1 and I have a question about the fonts.
I have a document that uses Geneva 10 pt and when I used to print
it, the document fit on one page.  Now, the document flows over to
the second page.  This is a problem for me because it's really not
just a single document, but a few hundred (ie. I don't want to have
to reformat every document).

My guess is that the Geneva Font which came w/System 7.0.1 is slightly
different than the old one.

My question is: can I install the old Geneva font over the new one and
will the new System recognize it?

Please respond by e-mail if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

There is an extension called IconWrap v.1.2 which does this - I have
it, but with MaxAppleZoom my icons seem to march diagonally up the

I was told that if I updated my system 7.0.1 to 7.1, the fonts would remain 
in the extensions folder and/or system suitcase.  As far as a "clean" 
install, I'm not sure.  Try to call apple's support services.  My 7.1

I used that replacement and successfully made additions using ResEdit so
that it works well with my IIcx (Sys 7.1).  

Within the System file you need to change the mask image (within icl8,
etc.) from a trash can to the recycle symbol, or else the outline is still
a trash can.  You also must give the trash can IDs to the recycle symbol
IDs: -3993 (empty icon) and -3984 (full icon--dot in the middle).  Of
course, this means you either delete the trash can icons or give them
different IDs.

Within the Finder file I changed some STR#s so that "Trash Can" now reads
"Recycle", "Empty Trash" under the Special menu reads "Recycle!", and
references to the trash can and deleting make reference to a recycling bin
and recycling instead.  I changed the following STR#s: 8750, 10250, 11500,
and 11750 (contains menu bar and desktop icon references).  There are
probably more references, but I haven't bothered to look yet.

****You do this at your own risk*****, and I recommend altering copies of
your System and Finder files, not the originals.  In fact, the only way to
alter Finder is to work on a copy or to reboot your Mac from a system
floppy and work within that system.

If you like, I have two ResEdit files (one for System and one for Finder)
that I can mail to you, as long as you can unBinHex them.  I've considered
sending them to sumex, but, once again, I haven't gotten around to it.

Don't overlook MyBattery (the ShareWare check is coming soon). Good

modify the gauges to met your actual mileage as opposed to Apple's

them. I couldn't get the the finder to start up the disk first aid. 
I rebuilt the desktop, and this didn't solve the problem. I reinstalled

the system bombed with an Error 41.  The machine could not be restarted

Do you suppose this is a corruted OS, or is there some other problem

First, thanks to all the people who e-mailed me with suggestions for

namely Mirror and Complete Undelete, both of which were pre-System 7

What stumped me was having TWO inits causing the same problem. I had

persisted I assumed it was due to something else. However several
people pointed out to me that trash-intercepting inits could cause
a crash and they were right! Full marks! Thankyou!
