I had an old Helvetica font, which 6.0.7 didn't use properly. ! Thanks to Marc Kaufman! !........................ The Helvetica on Finnish system installer disks has been corrupt since 6.0.2 (that is the oldest system I could find). Usually there are two copies of the font: one in the System file and the other in a separate Font/DA Mover file 'Kirjasimet' (or 'Fonts' in English). The one in System file seems to be OK but, unfortunately, the Installer uses the one in the 'Kirjasimet' file. So, when you install (or upgrade) the system, you end up with a corrupt Helvetica! (The font is corrupt also in the 6.0.7 installer disks I have. Maybe the Apple representatives have corrected the problem, I told them about it last January.) I installed Helvetica from the US System disks to get a clean copy. / (.__o /_/ __/ .. ! / ! Juha Hyvonen !/ ) ! juh@cs.hut.fi ------
