Running it gives the font scanning window, which then gets stuck with the hourglass at 18% while scanning Cyberbit, and I've had to go back to 7402. The first font it comes to is also a Unicode one (Abysinnica, giving Amharic characters) and this scans OK. Does anyone else find this? If so, I'll put in a bug report. Just tried again, and the font scan continued after 90 seconds on Cyberbit. When it came to run, an error message said Error from NetSurf: The Unicode font library could not be initialized. Please report this to the developers, so I'm about to put in a bug report, with logfile. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

It scanned past SwissB and worked fine when I tried it. Do you still have the other copy of SwissB that you had? If so, can you send me that one too please? Two fonts with the same name shouldn't cause problems, the font manager just chooses one. The two copies of the font may be different and the one you sent may not have been the one the font manager chose. Many thanks for your interest and help. No problem. :) Michael -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

It scanned past SwissB and worked fine when I tried it. I've put that one back in Resources.!Fonts, and r7415 is happy with it, as you say. Do you still have the other copy of SwissB that you had? If so, can you send me that one too please? Unfortunately not; I just absent-mindedly deleted it, with at the back of my mind the thought that it may have been useful evidence. I'll dig it out of the backup, but won't be able to do this till later today, as I've currently run out of time. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Tm \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
