Files without association are missing the Creator/Type metadata (two 4 character codes, used by MacOS to identify which app using to open the file, and the kind of content). As said, you can drag the file onto the app icon (or its alias), but you can set the file's Creator/Type as well with a utility: I used TypeShuffler back then, and I loved it; it was freeware (at least up to 1.0.2)
"TypeShuffler is a drag and drop utility that allows you to change the file type and creator codes of files that are dropped on top of it. TypeShuffler provides you with a configurable database of creator codes so that you can easily change files to a common file type and creator."

Thus, if you want to squeeze the maximum speed from your G3, I'd keep a partition with 8.6 (try yourself, anyway, you might not feel the speed difference I perceived). > The .ttf and .otf files are now in the fonts folder, but the fonts > are not available in Microsoft Word 2001. Microsoft apps have their own (not standard) way to handle fonts. To check if the fonts are recognized by the system, try with a "vanilla" text editing app like SimpleText. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
