Missing Icons after installation

Post by Youks » Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:28 pm

Hi John,

After installing mobguiIcons-3 font, on Mavericks, some icons are missing! (Zz,Xx etc showing instead of icons).....Any way of fixing this with Font Book?

Thx

I also found fontbook to be a bit temperamental when uninstalling then installing fonts of the same name.

What I currently do is;
  • Start fontbook
  • Uninstall font(s)
  • Quit fontbook
  • Double click font file - which starts fontbook and installs the font
This way has been problem free for me so far!

Another tip, you may want to quit LiveCode before removing and installing the fonts. I've had some instances where it seemed that LiveCode (or OS X on behalf of LiveCode) cached the older version of the font.

Good point - I forgot about that! LiveCode does seem to hang on to the older version until restarted..
