re: google maps
Hi all No joy with Google Maps or with MultiMaps. Checked the various modules as follows: URI: v 104 OK Tinct: v 0.13 OK Iconv: v 0.10 (29 Nov 08) OK Shared U Lib newest OK However using the newest Unicode NS does not load giving the error message: using earlier version of Unicode (ca. 273 KB soze) NS load and works OK but nodisplay of maps. I have a feeling something is missing but have no idea what it might be. Very grateful for any suggestion. Best regards -- Mohamed Abdullah Dept.

IIRC it's an issue with the way that RISC OS 5's Font Manager handles the Wimp symbols in conjunction with certain fonts. It was discussed in depth on the Iyonix support list a while back and, again IIRC, one of those people with more knowledge of the subject than me explained what the solution was. Since it's nothing to do with NetSurf, you probably want to ask the question again over there. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

The symptom is that NetSurf starts to singletask when performing a 'secondary' fetch, i.e. one where the countdown shows to the right of the main downloading size display, and that everything *except* this countdown freezes; if you happen to have that area of screen visible you will see it updating constantly until the time reaches about 180 seconds, whereupon the fetch times out and normal operation resumes. In other words, you don't actually have to quit NetSurf: just sit out the three minutes -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == Confession is good for the soul, but bad for the career.

Run !NetSurf.FixFonts to check for this. Well, I too had been assuming the problem was somehow font-related, but in my case the culprit was ROOL's WimpSA module (downloadable as 'NewWimp' about a year ago, which I presume is where I got it from). This module extends the Window Manager to allow solid icons (ie without transparent pixels) to be used for the window tools. And it's been fixed since I downloaded it. But thanks to the those who tried to help. -- Simon Smith Where there's muck there's hope.

I can't close the offending window to stop the fetch, and thought I was quite silly when waiting that 60+ min. Now I see I have yet to experience silly ;) Tony Moore also asked me about free memory: In the area of 300+MB. Brian
