Hello, I realise this isn't top priority, but nevertheless a good place to record this error. Decided to copy some fonts across from my mac so MUI-OWB can take advantage of them.
Got the following error from TypeManager:
Error 12, can't build Space/Width for font file:
'Shared:Lake Marketing and Events/Graphics/Fonts/Kailasa.ttf'.
AND ..Kokonor.ttf
Apparently both of which are standard default fonts that come with Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Identified in Finder as 'Windows TrueType font'.
79 other fonts installed perfectly fine, just these two.

Re: Font Compatibility
I have done the same thing, copied all TTF from my previous Windoze machine and convert them under AmigaOS, without the slightest problem. Probably those two aforementioned fonts are 'buggy'?

Re: Font Compatibility
Also on the topic of font capability, I wondered what the reasoning is behind bog-standard fonts like Arial not being found in the OS. Is it a licensing issue?
Also an observation, I am currently designing a website for a client, my Wordpress theme is set to use a 'Google Font' which shows correctly in Chrome, but uses another font in Timberwolf and OWB.

As ssolie says, Arial is a copyrighted font. Microsoft allow their original archive to be freely distributed, however that is a self-extracting Windows executable.djrikki wrote:Also on the topic of font capability, I wondered what the reasoning is behind bog-standard fonts like Arial not being found in the OS.

The "google font" is a @font-face defined downloadable font. I would guess that Timberwolf and OWB don't support that CSS property.Also an observation, I am currently designing a website for a client, my Wordpress theme is set to use a 'Google Font' which shows correctly in Chrome, but uses another font in Timberwolf and OWB.
