Are you talking about jpgs of documents, like census records and the like? Or, 
photos of people in your family?

If the latter, I'd suggest a genealogy program probably isn't the best solution 
for you. I'd try a program that allows you to tag photos into different 
groupings. Windows Photo Gallery actually doesn't do a bad job, and Google 
Photos works as well. I tried Picatta awhile back and didn't like it, but I 
don't remember why.

Re: [LegacyUG] add font to Legacy?

2016-05-18 Thread Carol Boswell

May I just add that after printing a book in Word that Word is unstable for 
large documents?  Editing something onone page seemed to magically cause errors 
on other pages, even though I kept the same opening and ending sentences on the 
pages.  It was an exercise in frustration to edit and re-edit with new errors 
appearing each time.
Others may have better software to suggest.

That should work as long as drive G exits on both computers and you have the

Re: [LegacyUG] GedCom Faux-Paux; Help !

2016-05-18 Thread Cathy Pinner


Tony,
Transferring your data from FTM to Legacy wouldn't change anything in FTM.
Transferring your data is straightforward or not depending on how you've 
been using FTM and whether you've done a full sync with Ancestry which 
includes your images.


From Legacy User Group on Facebook
Michele Simmons Lewis (Legacy Staff)
The last step includes a video :)

1) If you have a tree on Ancestry.com you will need to sync your FTM to 
the tree and make sure that ALL of the media is downloaded to your hard 
drive and that the media is linked and visible in FTM. You need FTM 2012 
or 2014 to be able to do this.


2) Compact your file (TOOLS > COMPACT FILE, select Perform extended 
analysis)


3) Create the gedcom. Leave the settings at the defaults.

4) Do not move or rename any media file or folder after you create the 
gedcom. You can do that later but not now.


5) Make sure you are using the most current update to Legacy because 
there are FTM fixes in it (FTM generates gedcoms that do not adhere to 
the gedcom standards so Legacy has to compensate for that)


6) Import the gedcom into Legacy. Here is a step by step video that 
Geoff made http://familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=415


end quote

So you've got an FTM problem now?
Not using FTM I have no idea what you're talking about.

Re: [LegacyUG] add font to Legacy?

2016-05-18 Thread johnbernacki1


Hi Brian,

Thank you- it worked.

I am very aware that Legacy does not work with Eastern European special 
characteristics or diacritics. It is my only gripe with Legacy which appears 
to be the best genealogy program in every other way.
For now at least, I can use Sylfaen font with English words. When I am about 
publish my book, I will have to save it as Word document, then painstakingly 
search and replace all “English spellings” of the Eastern European names of 
people and places, with the correct spellings. At least a suitable font will 
be ready to go. Sylfaen does diacritics beautifully.

Upon further review, the ruling on the field is reversed. The Sylfaen font
can indeed be used with Legacy. It all depends upon the language setting
within Windows (not everybody in the world uses English as their primary
language).

There are one or two minor things that the user needs to have set in their
Windows Control Panel. Within Windows 7 (not sure if Win10 is the same
procedure but probably similar), go to Control Panel, Appearance and
Personalization (if viewing the Category method), Fonts, and then Font
Settings. In that window, click on the box to remove the checkmark from
"Hide fonts based on language settings". Restart Legacy and the Sylfaen font
appears in the drop down lists within Legacy's customization choices.

As Brian with Customer Support mentioned, this font is based on a different
language other than English. If the user changed their language setting of
Windows from the Control Panel to something other than English, then the
Sylfaen font would automatically appear depending upon which language was
chosen that supported that font.

BTW, I tried just the method of un-hiding all fonts, then selected Sylfaen
without changing my English language settings, and then within Legacy
selected Sylfaen and it all seems to look just fine. To me, it's merely
another serif based font similar to Times New Roman.

Hope that helps.

support the Eastern European character sets, he means just that. Thus, if
you force Legacy to use one such font, then there is no guarantee exactly
what may happen on display, printed output, formatting, etc. Let the user
beware. I was merely pointing out a way to allow the user to look at such
fonts and test them out on their own.

Upon further review, the ruling on the field is reversed. The Sylfaen font
can indeed be used with Legacy. It all depends upon the language setting
within Windows (not everybody in the world uses English as their primary
language).

There are one or two minor things that the user needs to have set in their
Windows Control Panel. Within Windows 7 (not sure if Win10 is the same
procedure but probably similar), go to Control Panel, Appearance and
Personalization (if viewing the Category method), Fonts, and then Font
Settings. In that window, click on the box to remove the checkmark from
"Hide fonts based on language settings". Restart Legacy and the Sylfaen font
appears in the drop down lists within Legacy's customization choices.

As Brian with Customer Support mentioned, this font is based on a different
language other than English. If the user changed their language setting of
Windows from the Control Panel to something other than English, then the
Sylfaen font would automatically appear depending upon which language was
chosen that supported that font.

BTW, I tried just the method of un-hiding all fonts, then selected Sylfaen
without changing my English language settings, and then within Legacy
selected Sylfaen and it all seems to look just fine. To me, it's merely
another serif based font similar to Times New Roman.

Hope that helps.

After my last message I went looking in my Windows and discovered that
Sylfaen font is a standard Windows font. The Sylfaen font is used for
Cyrillic, Greek and Eastern European languages, Legacy does not support the
Eastern European character sets though so I will have to change my answer to
No, you cannot add the Sylfaen font to Legacy.

2016-05-18 Thread Brian/Support

As far as I know Legacy uses the fonts you have installed in windows. Is 
the Sylfaen font one of your windows fonts or is it only installed in a 
program you use? If it is a Windows font you should be able to select it 
when selecting fonts within Legacy.
