I am going to do a whole clean install on the boot partition with a 8.5 cd, the 8.6 updater, and the font manager. I am noticing that right now, my Menu fonts program is running oddly for sure in AppleWorks and Tex-Edit, e.g, it won't hold open the Font menu when I click it [no sticky menu].
Odd thing is, the machine CAME with a 8.6 on it, but I wanted to get fancy and do things right. Plus the 8.6 on it seemed to be missing some stuff like Voices. But it was running fonts and things fine, although it would not boot PhotoShop. What I mean is that PhotoShop will start up, but then immediately shut down. This edition came off my old Quadra. Is it possible that a 68k-only install was performed on the quadra? Even so, my 6200 running 8.1 ran it fine, tho slow. But then again 8.1 still has some 68k code, could that be what's wrong here? Also noticing in this situation that various "Droplet" mini-apps also refuse to work. My goal will be just to get the clean install on right and see. Anyone ahve experience with running the so-called font repair utility? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
