Wine and yet another font problem

So I upgraded my system (had to load lots of stuff, Xorg, Wine, the kernel..) and now my Wine fonts look like this:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/anpurola/winecfg.png
Some fonts are ok, but most of them are unreadable. I mostly run poker clients. I tried to delete my .wine directory, and install fonts again with winetricks, didn't help.
Does this have something to do with the new Xorg? I had to remove RgbPath and AutoAddDevices from xorg.conf BTW, to get it work.

Please make sure not have added any fonts to wine. Font conflicts can sometimes cause a similar issue. If a fresh wine prefix.(A copy of wine that nothing has been done to yet) Is having this problem. Try setting following in registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]

Place above in text file and it can be inserted into registry by "regedit settings.txt".
This was report as been required of OS X on the 1 Dec 2007. This may change. Please apply only as required.
but it doesn't work for me. Anybody has an idea how to do it?
Wow it works! Thank you! Too bad if some of you still have problems.. BTW I'm using nvidia-96xx driver.
edit: Now that I tried different programs, I noticed some of the graphics won't work For example, I don't see any buttons in programs such as Spotify or Full Tilt Poker client..
Whoa thanks. It worked for me too.
how you ran regedit?

Yet another printing problem 'EOF' errors

This problem is probably both a Leopard and Adobe problem combined. It's a rather complicated problem, but the bottom line is that (to most printers) the jobs coming out of one of our Mac Pros cause the printers to crash and restart themselves giving an 'EOF Error (End of File)' on at least one of them. The problem also appears to affect PDF documents created in InDesign which will then cause the same errors on any computer it is printed from.
Things you may need to know and that I've already tried:
• The same printers with the same drivers printing the same files will work on other Mac Pros of the same version with the same version of Leopard.
• Using a generic driver will print properly, however this is not a workaround because we need duplexing provided by the driver and I'm not sure how this could fix the PDF problem.
• Fonts have been disabled and checked with Font Doctor.
• Starting up in 'Safe Mode' will allow printing, but without fonts or links on server volumes.
• Switching the hard drive with another identical Mac Pro brought the problem with the HD, worked on other. In other words, the problem is definitely in the software and not a hardware problem.
• Reset the printing system numerous times.
• Re-installed the OS, Adobe CS3, and a couple of documents - same problem with no added extensions. Other computer with tons of extensions and fonts, etc. - no problem.
• Plain text documents print fine.
• Some PostScript documents will print, but rarely.
• Will not print to HP LaserJet 2420, Minolta Di650 Fiery, ABDick Platemaker.
• WIll print to Kodak DigiMaster (three different models and versions)
Everything that I think sounds like it could be the problem is disproved by the fact that several other Mac Pros with the exact same configuration have no problem. I'm thinking about cloning another Mac Pro system that works and seeing if I can go about it that way.
Apple support was no help. Nor was Adobe. They tried to be helpful, but there is no logic to solving this one. This has been going on for over a week now and I've tried so many things. It's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was actually just a commonly used font that had gone bad somehow. Problems like that are always fonts or links. Sometimes they just aren't as obvious. We thought we'd checked everything and it affected so many of her files because she used the font so often.

10.4.4 and MS Word Font Problems

On Tuesday of last week, I installed the 10.4.4 system update into my 450 MHz Power/PC G4 tower. Following the installation all of my Mircosoft applications (Word, Excel, etc) are crashing whenever I try an access their font menus. For some reason the system update must have changed the calls out to the fonts and the MS products are now all confused. If I do succeed in opening the font menu in Word (without the program shutting down), it is displayed as unintelligible garbage - in Excel the font menu appears with several font menus overlaid on top of one another making it impossible to distinguish which font is selected. It appears none of my other applications are similarly effected.
I have already attempted the following fixes with NO success:
- re-installed Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac applications (twice)
- updated to the most recent version of Word, Excel, etc.
- trashed Font libraries and re-installed in various sequences
- used disk utility to repair permissions
- re-installed 10.4.4 using Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 COMBO installer
Any thoughts? Are other people reporting this problem? Can I download the 10.4.3 system update and run the installation (to go back to 10.4.3 from 10.4.4) or will that just screw everything up????

Thanks again Libertine for your replies. I had tried zapping the PRAM and saw the other comments already. None of it seemed to help. The drive would mount on the desktop, but usually spin down and back up after a few minutes. So on Saturday I decided to try to copy everything off it onto another drive. Since it usually would go too long before glitching I decided to copy one folder at a time. Numerous times it would glitch in the middle of a copy and I would have to unplug it and plug it back in then start the copy of that folder all over again. On several folders I found that it would glitch on the same file (digital photo) every time. If I removed the one offending file it would copy the entire folder. I have no idea what that's about. They were photo files and I could open and view the photo fine. So who knows. Anyway, I managed to get it all copied to a new drive. Now it gets real interesting. I did nothing else but to copy the files to a new drive. And since then the drive has not glitched even once. I am totally baffled. First Aid had said the drive was OK and DiskWarrior had no problems with it. I had optomized the directories on it a couple days before I upgraded to 10.4. So who knows? I guess it will remain a mystery. Once again, thanks for all your suggestions.

YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
To my
surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
using
NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
machine).
I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
running
the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
non-locally?'
features?
Thanks

I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.

New PC and yet same old problems

Hi,
I've just put together the PC in my signature and have already run into a bunch of problems. First and most irritatingly - this is now the third PC i've put together that has problems with jumpy graphics in games. It never really bothered me before because i'm not big on games and tend to use my PC for video encoding etc etc. But this latest PC i built (on a budget) for games as Half Life 2 will arrive soon i thought i'd start gaming again!
Anyway, a little tricky to describe but i hope you'll understand what i mean when i say the graphics are jumpy or jerky. They sort of stutter. Now this being the third PC i've had with the same problem will lead you assume i have a nasty power problem in my house. Well no, cos thats what i thought. My power supply is very good and to be extra careful all my PC's now have a UPS with voltage regulators onboard.
I thought this could be a memory issue (AMD 64 platforms seem to have a fair few problems with memory) but memtest cleared my Mushkin memory at stock settings after close to 8 hours testing.
So i've done some benchmarking and testing and thought you may be interested in the results. PCMark04 - All my results check very well compared to similar systems except my CPU score, that was lower than expected. Another interesting point would be my Sandra scores, again all scores faired well except the CPU Multi media score that was lower than an XP 2000+. Hmmmm....
3dMark etc is all good (again except CPU scores in 3DMARK03) so i don't know what more to say about that. Heat is a possibility, my readings show the CPU runs @ 43c idle, my case tells me the system runs at ~28c, but i don't know if that CPU reading is accurate because i haven't updated the BIOS yet, which leads me onto my next problem...
I can't seem to update the BIOS because when i get to the A:\ prompt in DOS i can't get to any other drive. i.e. i can't type in "c:" to change drive so i can update the BIOS which is really annoying. I'm not sure whats up here - probably something setup wrong in the BIOS but i wouldn't know.
Thirdly, more of a question than me moaning, is it ok to have the SATA controller sharing an IRQ? I will post my IRQ's at the bottom of this post.
But if this graphics problem has happened to me three out of three times, then i must be doing something wrong each time. Well plenty to think about and there are probably some very good explanations.
Thanks for your time,
bounty

I tried turning off fast writes and lowering the hardware acceleration and believe me this is like the 4th install of windows i've done trying to sort this problem out. Still no prevail though.
What about the harddrive flickering, should it be doing that whilst i play games?
You should be using Sata 3 or 4 , not 1 or 2.
Also DIMM 1 and 2 for memory (those closest to the CPU)
if you are using an Nvidia card the agp fastwrites is usually what causes hangs, and freezing.
Strange that you should build three PCs all with the same problem.. What is the common factor here? if its the Video card, i suggest getting a new one.

IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
- OS X is 10.5.6
- iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
- iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
- Address Book is 4.1.1
- iCal is 3.0.6
I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
History:
- At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
- Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
- Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
- Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
- Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
- Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
Other details:
- I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
- I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
- I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
- I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
- I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
All is well.
Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

Urgent – QuarKXpress 8 and Type 1 Font Problem Under 10.6

Hi,
I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6 with QuarkXpress 8.1.6. on a Mac Pro.
When I open a document created in QuarkXpress 7.5 in QuarkXpress 8.1.6, some of the text is not flush with the top of its text box. It seems to have moved down by a millimetre or two. Also, when I copy text boxes that appear to be correct and paste them into a new page layout, the same problem occurs, where the text again appears to have moved down within its text box. Some older files created in QuarkXpress 6.5 seem to open okay.
*The QuarkXpress known issues page says the following: Mac OS 10.6 only – Due to a change in Apple's APIs, text that uses Type 1 fonts may display increased vertical spacing when you open a project in Snow Leopard.*
I've spoken to Quark's technical support team who have advised me to update my OS to version 10.6.3. to see if this corrects the problem.
Does anyone have the same issues and will updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3 correct the problem? If not, I'm in a bit of a predicament.
As usual, any advice would be great – thanks!

Caveat to this post:
I don't use Quark, but I'd believe the author's own suggestions.
That said, before upgrading to 10.6.3, consider that you may not have full compatibility with 10.6.3 in other software. You may want to make a test bootable hard drive with just Quark on it, to see if it solves your problem and then check to see if all your other essential applications and drivers run as expected. Quark has its own forums here:
http://forums.quark.com/
Where I'd ask the questions to see what other users have been using to fix the issue.

Another font problem

When I set a font in iweb (nothing fancy, just arial) and then publish the site. Safari does not understand it and automatically goes to its default font. The fonts look perfect in firefox too...
Seems like quite a significant mistake on apple's part if other browsers are more compatible with their own software than their own?
Any ideas?
thanks

Any clues though?
Sorry, no. Without being able to see it, hard to know if it's more than a local problem or what might cause it.

Yet another "font not available" question

Hello,
First, I'm using FM 8.1.3 on Windows (XP). So I don't have the Font Pod or any of that other FM 10 good stuff.
I'm trying to open a chapter in a book that contains both English and Simplified Chinese text. The error I keep getting says that "MS Mincho" is not available, and a Kazuka Gothic font is being substituted. I click OK and the file opens. I save and close the file. Then I try to open it again and the error is still there. All of the chapters in the book have the same problem.
I saved one of the chapters as a .mif and opened that as a text file. I searched for "Mincho", and it wasn't there. I searched for "FFamily" in the file and didn't find anything similar to Mincho in any of the references. There were many entries but no unfamiliar fonts being referenced.
I also tried the trick of opening all the files, accepting the substitution for each, and then trying to update the book. That doesn't seem to work. The update is finished much too quickly. Something flashes by really quickly in the status bar of the book file - I thought I saw titles of a couple of the chapters (different title each time I ran the update), but (1) the book file does not have a new time stamp, even if I do something that should trigger a change to the book file, eg, change the order of a couple of chapters in the book file, and (2) there's no error message. I don't think it actually did an update. (When I try to update the book with all the chapter files closed, I'm still getting the "could not open file because of missing font" errors.)
Are there any other things I might try?
Thanks,
Joyce

Joyce,
You have your preferences set to Remember missing fonts. When you open a file with missing fonts, FrameMaker warns you; but when you click OK, it opens the file with the substituted font just to display the document. FrameMaker does NOT substitute the font permanently, just for the current display. If you make a change and save the file, you are saving any content changes but not the font substitution.
If you are happy with the substituted font, you can open the preferences and uncheck Remember missing fonts. Then when you open the file, FrameMaker's response is as before; however, when you save the file, the font substitution is saved in the file.
You can then turn Remember missing fonts back on, if you want. The purpose of this feature is to allow you or others to edit the document without actually having the font on your system but retain the font information in the file.

Yet Another NVIDIA Problem(TM)

Since I updated XFree86 a week or so ago, it just keeps failing to initialise the NVIDIA module. I tried X.Org, which does exactly the same. Looking at the log, everything seems to start up properly with no errors, but suddenly it decides to give up, no reason given.
I have just discovered that if I uninstall, reinstall and modprobe the the NVIDIA drivers, it works! Until I reboot. Then, no matter what I try, it will not work at all! So I have to uninstall, reinstall and modprobe each time I reboot.
Very weird is all I can say.

Well, I had done that, but the point was that once I restarted, whether the nvidia modules was loaded by /etc/rc.sysinit or manually with modprobe, it would not work (but modprobe did not report any errors). The /dev/nvidia* devices do not show up.
Seems the problem is with UDev (maybe I needed to configure something for it?). I have switched back to DevFS for now, and it works again (X.Org). I had forgotten when I posted that I had also switched to UDev at the same time...
I still have another slightly related problem. I recently (yesterday) had this idea that maybe I should try get my (hardly ever used) Lucent winmodem working under Linux for the odd times I use dial-up. Drivers were easy to find (http://linmodems.org/). This worked under UDev, but then stopped working when I restarted (grr), the same as NVIDIA, whether they were in MODULES or whether I modprobe'd 'em. I actually got KPPP to dial on /dev/modem and it would have authorised had I bothered to configure PPP daemon first ;-) Didn't work under DevFS either, even though the install script had added a rule in /etc/modprobe.conf to alias /dev/modem which doesn't materialse. The device does appear at /dev/tts/LTM0 but KPPP can't dial on it.

[SOLVED] Preferred frontend for wine and a Counter-Strike problem

Hello,
Whats the preferred front end for wine or should I use the vanilla version? I'm planning to play Steam Counter-Strike (1.6 version), maybe WOW.
Also, if someone knows. I installed bin32-wine from arch-games and playonlinux from AUR on 64bit host. Wine 1.1.33. Installed fonts - verdana, tahoma, arial. And Steam. When I load Counter-Strike 1.6, I can only see the background. I don't see menu or console. I can press buttons blind and hear them click. I can type in console blind. But I don't see anything except for the background.
Actually, bin32-wine does not even load any more. Only playonlinux does.

Sounds like bin32-wine is broken or there is a regression in wine with CS.
I would just use bash scripts + wine as frontend.
If it's a bug report it http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/proj … epo/issues

And yet another reverse telecine question. =)

Okay so I shot the footage in 24p advanced on a dvx100b. I batch reverse telecined in cinema tools. It worked fine except for the first frame of some of the final reverse telecined files. Only on some of the files (randomly) the first frame is interlaced. This only happened to some of the files and it is not really a big deal because there is nothing important usually in the first frame but it is a little worrying. Could it be because I didnt really pay attention to which of the 5 frame set (0-5/A-D frames where frame 3/C is the interlaced frame in 24p advanced) was captured as the first frame during capturing? I have heard that you must capture the 0/A frame as the first frame for reverse telecining/advanced pulldown removal to work. Is this true. Even if so, the whole clip other than the first frame is still fine so, any ideas?

Ive received an answer to this in another forum. It is due to the fact that cinema tools has no other field to combine with for the first frame depending on which of the 5 field sequence it started recording in. It is really no problem because it is only the very first frame that is affected.

Microsoft Word - Times New Roman will not print from my iMac. People send me Word documents, I must select all and choose another font. How can I fix this?

When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font. I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.

harpnt
Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
You'll see the duplicate warning. Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES.
You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
Then try your docs again.
Any better.

Another font problem, I think.

Now that I have the basic two fonts cleared up, most text in the drop down lists are scrambled. An image here: http://www.anthemwebs.com/images/fontsafari.gif
Any thoughts?
