My own way of dealing with the problem is to ensure that NetSurf is run before EFP during the boot sequence. It's not a total solution because upgrading to a new development build (thanks to the NetSurf team for the frequency of these) means quitting the old version and running the new one. The 'error' message appears at each of these actions. I usually quit EFP first and run it again afterwards. It's useful to have a short cut for it on the pinboard.

No-one is (or should be) suggesting that you modify NetSurf to remove the message: adding and removing fonts is a completely legitimate action on RISC OS, and I assume that NetSurf is adding fonts for a reason. Chris has pointed out the reason that EasyFontPro gives a warning. You now need to fix Easy Font Pro to ignore what NetSurf is doing: I'm afraid that the problem is with EFP. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

Yes, when Netsurf is run, and I accept its Font$Dir changing question, an extra folder belonging to Netsurf appears in EFP. If I then remove that folder in EFP, and then quit and re-load Netsurf, the question still remains. In other words, eliminating the folder from EFP doesn't prevent the same problem recurring when Netsurf is next run. EFP still asks the same question. Sorry if this is not a Netsurf problem. Maybe if I take it to Comp.sys.apps... Sorry I don't have the EFP manual to hand, and for reasons stated in the private email recently, Fog prevents me remembering the detail. OK, no worry. Thanks for your help Dave. Dave -- Cheers Roger Who says tomorrow never comes; it came yesterday.
