Font problems after upgrading to 5.5
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:37 am
Yesterday, I got out my online checkbook (so to speak), and moved from the trial version of LiveCode to LiveCode 5.5. (Yeah!)
At first it appeared that all was going fine, but then I noticed two things:
1. A button where I had been displaying a symbol from the Wingding 3 font, was no longer displaying the symbol but the keyboard character you press to show the symbol -- in this case, a lower-case q. (I've attached a screenshot.) When I called up the Object Inspector for the button, it showed the font as being Wingding 3. When I chose another font, the "q" would be displayed in that font, but when I went back to Wingding 3, no symbol was displayed. (Also, Wingding and Wingding 2 had the same problem.) I checked another stack where I had first tested this button and it is also showing the same behavior. It would be fairly easy to work around this, but why is it happening?
2. The font has changed in the Error message box that pops up when a error is encountered during script complilation. It's now displaying in Cyber Calligraphic (which is a font I have installed on my computer). (I've also attached a screenshot of this).
I suppose one possibility is that when I downloaded and installed 5.5, perhaps something came through wrong (although I got no error messages).
Any thoughts? Should I re-install the program?
