[G4] Substitution fonts

[jonseward at mindspring.com]

Hi Tony,

Fonts are in a suitcase in your System folderYou can drag the
incorrect/older fonts out of the 
suitcase and then let your installer complete their installation.  Old
fonts can be placed in another 
folder somewhere, should you ever need those versions.

Sounds like those fonts would only be used when QuickDraw GX is operating. 
If other apps also 
rely on Quickdraw you may have variant fonts being employed, which may make
no difference or a 
lot to the appearance of typography.

To reconcile conflicts you may need to have folders of the fonts in
question and swap them in and 
out of the Font suitcase when using different programs.

No idea what happens if the new fonts aren't installed.

But give it a try and let your installer complete its sequence.  Any issues
are likely easily reversible 
by uninstalling or searching for the new files and deleting them.

HTH,


Jon

Subject: [G4] Substitution fonts


The following I posted on X-newbies but have had no replys, so was hoping
someone on this list could help,   please:

I know this will seem dumb to many but.....

Installing the CD that accompanies "Sams Teach Yourself To Create Web Pages
in 24 Hours" (and includes Netscape Composer and other relevant software) I
get the message "The installed substitution fonts are designed for use with
standard QuickDraw. Please remove them and install the QuickDraw GX
versions."

(1) How do I remove them?

(2) How do I find the QuickDraw GX versions?

(3) How do I Install them?

(4) Will this affect any existing applications?

(5) If so, can I reconcile both needs?

(6) What happens if I do nothing?

The problem is in the classic environment.The only applications I have there
that might be relevant are: Netscape, QuarkXPress 4, MacFractint, Graphing
Calculator, Painter 5, Poser 2, Abyss Web Server, SoundEdit 16 version 2,
WCC Silver, Photoshop 6, Toast Titanium 5.1.4, SimpleText, Illustrator 8,
Image Ready 3, Streamline 4, Appleworks 6, ATM Deluxe.

The computer is eMac 1GHz G4, 1GB SDRAM, Mac OS 10.3.7. I have a partitioned
drive running 10 and 9.2 Applications are the same in classic and "over the
other side" in full boot 9.2 The only program I don't have an updated
version of in 10 is Quark which is my main reason for keeping 9. Oh and
discovering when learning to expand website design beyond templates that the
accompanying CD is only for  OS 9.

Thank you in advance for any help,  Tony.
