Re: How to copy a card you can't open - corrupted fonts

2011-04-24 Thread william humphrey
I deleted every font that was corrupted and then went ahead and used stuff fine. There was only one font that I missed and that was "Arial Regular" and I re-installed that from another computer. There were about six damaged fonts. I didn't even consider there might be a font creator out there somew

Hi William, Do you remember the font names? Ideally, instead of deleting the fonts the fonts creators should receive a copy of these fonts. In this way, they could fix the font problems and verify exactly the origin of these errors. This is really important. Could you recover these deleted fo

I just found out why LiveCode would crash whenever I tried to open one of the cards in the stack. It turns out there was a corrupted font being used in the suspect card. Solution (Mac OS): 1. Open Font Suitcase in your app folder. 2. Select all fonts 3. Run the validate fonts command 4. Check off

Seems like that would be a pretty essential character of table fields. Too bad. I must have put in leading spaces or something. The purpose of the card is only to format text for printing. Thanks for letting me know about that lack. How long before that feature is available for table fields? __

I tried deleting the text in the field and that didn't stop the crashes. I had to delete the whole field. Even weirder, I went to a back-up that was nearly a year old and found the same problem. Deleting the field and then re-creating it fixed the error I have no back-up to look at to check but I r

No. The table field had nine stops. Set like 45,150,300,345,390,595,646,705 and text Helvetica 9 point. I just re-built it. On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 4:32 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > william humphrey wrote: > > Thanks for your help. It wasn't the text in the field. It was the field >> itself. A ba
