The installation removed all fonts from the win.ini font list (read via sysedit.exe), though all Windows 98SE fonts were still on the disk. The fonts installed with previous versions of Openoffice were not present, and several sets of European fonts were installed, but didn't show up in the font list displays. Where are all the nice fonts that were included in previous versions of Openoffice? RC1 IS EARLY ALPHA SOFTWARE WITH THIS MONSTER BUG, NOT A RELEASE CANDIDATE. IT'S NOT AT ALL ACCEPTABLE. YOU SHOULD REMOVE IT FROM RELEASE CANDIDATE STATUS AND WARN PEOPLE ABOUT ITS PROBLEMS. If others have no problems with RC1 on Win98, my problem may have been affected by some kind of email content that probably arrived before my problems with RC1. My email program should not automatically open files or run scripts, so I don't know what really happened. I can't reproduce on my Win98 box. All fonts have the 'don't delete' flag in script. So they should not be removed by setup. I have no idea what the problem is. I use Mozilla for browsing and email, and it should not automatically run any executable email attachment. I think that before my problem with RC1, there was an email that caused a temporary icon problem and who knows what else, and evidently deleted itself. This shouldn't have happened. This could be related to my font problem too. I later installed RC1 and found that all fonts except Win98 and some Euro fonts were gone missing from the Font directory, and saw only one font in one size listed in the drop-down list in Openoffice and also Wordpad. I got my fonts working again by re-installing Win98 clean, then some updates and essential software. Are there any registry settings that affect what fonts are accessible to the Windows OS? Could a Java or Javascript item in an email change registry settings? Even so, my mail program shouldn't run any executable. Has anyone else reported RC1 installation problems? No such problems. |
