New Way To Deal With Custom Fonts on iOS?

Hi All: I just spent two hours with a colleague trying to track down why a custom font wasn't rendering correctly on iOS, and apparently it seems that something changed with either the way LiveCode 7 or iOS 8 handles font names. It used to be that grabbing the installed name of a font on iOS was

Re: LiveNode Server

This is an interesting thread. Let me add a few comments: The CGI / FastCGI thing is a red herring. CGI is slow and so is FastCGI. :) Slighter faster options (e.g. for things like PHP and Python) implement the language runtime via a plugin module to the web server. However, things like Node.js and

Scott, Could this possibly be related to this issue bug 14116 ? Mark W. stated in a comment there that the screen loading times may have something to do with a change in the way that fonts were handled between LC 6.6 and LC 6.7. I wonder if the

No idea. Their basic projects don't have "code" -- just a bunch of properties that include things like "when this happens, do this," but then you can open the project up and write javascript. Maybe the end result is a specialized web page? I'll experiment more. gc On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 10:56 AM

There shouldn't be anything infuriating about it. You have a password protected stack. You set the passkey of that stack to your password value. You should then be able to access/copy objects from that stack. The passkey stays in effect for the current editing session. When you close stack (or

Does it work for you in the IDE? Also, you're not using the Community Edition are you? You can't password protect with that version of LiveCode even though it shows the option in the Standalone Builder. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 4/14/15, 1:50 PM,
