Subj: ns461ga won't work properly on warp connect?

From: Ron Woerde <postbus_no@spam_ronwo.demon.nl>

I used ns461 beta without any problems. The other day I installed
ns461ga and I experienced some weird "features" and "enhancements".
When using the messenger or newsgroup I see no text in the message
windows anymore, but when I save them the text is there.... ? HTML
messages are shown normally.

When I select one of the popular search engines I see no field to enter
a search string. The only way to search the net is through the netscape
site. It almost looks like a MS "feature".
Now I'm back at the beta again.
Can anybody confirm this weird behaviour of NS461ga ?

If it appears to be that Warp Connect is not supported anymore I'll
switch to Linux. So be it....If IBM drops support I'll drop IBM and
support for their products in other aireas as well...

This sounds like a font problem where Netscape's default font 
isn't available on your system for some reason.  Try going to 
"Edit...Preferences...Appearance..Fonts" and changing the fonts 
Netscape uses.

BTW, v4.61 is working pretty well here with Warp v3.  The 
problems I've seen (100% cpu and decreased throughput on file 
transfers and secure connections) don't appear to be Warp v3 
issues as many other people have also noticed them.

Hello Ron,

change the default font to something other than 'Courier New'. This is choosen 
as default by
install, but this font isn't present at most of the OS/2 systems running.

btw: Warp 3 ( all flavors ) aren't supported officially by NS 4.61 .

Meinolf,

Could you clarify the last part of that? The part about Courier New not 
being present on "most of the OS/2 systems running"?

It's present on mine (but that's anecdotal)... but I have to admit that 
I've never specifically requested its presence, it just "appeared" with 
the rest of the OS/2 fonts. I've never given the matter much thought, 
but if the question had come up I'd have assumed that it _would_ be 
present on most OS/2 systems.

On the other hand, I do see a number of problems reported against NS/2 
4.61 which suggesting re-selecting a font other than Courier New.

What would cause Courier New _not_ to be present on an OS/2 system,
other than the user deleting it?  I ask from ignorance - I think I'm
overlooking something obvious here (wouldn't be the first time (;-)).

Subj: NS 4.61ga: wither my carets?

From: Colin Brace <cbrace@lim.nl>

hello all,

Netscape 4.61 seems fine except for one display glitch I've encountered:
it displays the "^" (caret) as a box. For example, see this page, which
has a number of carets in the coding examples:

  http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/

On my system, all the carets appear as boxes. Oddly enough NS 2.02
displays them correctly. Anyone else noted this behaviour?

FWIW: I'm using default character set settings.

Colin, I'm using NS 4.61 GA with the following fonts:

Encoding:   Western
Variable Width Screen Font:  Times New Roman MT 30

Also selected:  Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified 
fonts.

At any rate, I went to your quoted URL, and the page displayed all 
carats perfectly!

I was probably a bit misleading in writing "most systems", better to say
"many".

Courier New is a TrueType Font. On Warp 3 there is no TTF engine out of the
box.
I just setup another machine with W3 Connect RedBox, and there really is no
Courier New.
The WfW311, wich I installed as replacement of WinOS2, has this Courier New.
But it isn't 
installable to OS/2 font palette. I think, there must be a TTF engine on W3
since FP 32 (+-2),
cause the java unicode is TTF and supported on W3.

On W4 - as I learned from a post of Jeffry S. Kobal ( hope I remember right )
in 
c.o.o.bugs or c.o.o.beta - this font is only installed if you select WinOS2 to 
install
as well. If you omit installing WinOS2 , then there will be no Courier New. I
havn't
verified this myself, but there's no reason not to believe Jeffry .

btw: Courier New isn't a good choice at all, cause as noted in the readme to
recent FP's
     it lacks support for the european currency symbol. 

Bye/2
Meinolf

Meinolf,

Got it. And I almost always install WinOS2, so I'd almost always have 
Courier New present (a.k.a. \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\COUR*.TTF).

Geez - I'd hate to have been the poor soul who had to sift through the
chaff in all the problem reportes from this (;-).
