Yes, that's exactly what I've got for the modules in VRPC. >> I then took Cyberbit out of Resources.Fonts, and ran NetSurf again. >> This time it ran fully, and I was able to view pages in Amharic with >> the Abyssinica font. >> >> Any idea why this NetSurf doesn't like Cyberbit?

My two copies of Cyberbit amount to 22,373,976 bytes, but the copy on the Iyo works, as far as I can tell, perfectly. Maybe there's more than one version of the font? When I get a round tuit, I'll maybe download and convert the font again, and see what I get. Also, I might try running NetSurf with Cyberbit and without Abyssinica, to see if that makes a difference. > RPCemu has only 128MB memory, so that's not likely to be the problem. Presumably so, but what about the memory allocated to NetSurf? Just wondering ... With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Lu \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
