Ok. Not intending to make waves here or cause any discord. How do I go about deleting my profile?

Dan, I was referring to having to alter the .ini file on certain fonts even on 9.2.31. No worries, we are moving away from FP so hopefully my headache will end or get even bigger.

"This should load fonts the same way as in older (pre-9.2) versions of FusionPro VDP." If only this statement were true......

Dan, I'll present the issue to support with all available instances I can gather but what you all call "fixed' might need some reinterpretation sir.

havdp, probably better that you open the .ini file in excel (if you have it installed) to alter it. Make a copy of the original file for the sake of referencing the original setup.

I am still getting the default fonts that should not be default. For instance, the font that I had been using in a text property prior to this was Times Lt Std Bold and it keeps defaulting to Times LT Std Bold Italic. I cannot seem to change the font either.

Yeah this is a mess and I'm certainly not making changes to the .ini file every time it comes up since we have 34 recurring templates for MCC as well. I am virtualizing Lion or Mountain Lion and running it that way until PTI sorts this business out. Thanks for the help Dan and the effort on the workaround.

If someone could fill in the blanks here that would helpful. Having the same issue.

Thanks for the explanation Dan. I think I will wait for the patch since after editing the the .ini file I see the fonts in the drop down but cannot seem to have them stick in the frame editor. Even when I manually tell it to replace it does not adhere to the replacement.

So you are all saying I need to do is delete the fonts not showing up from the .ini file? I cannot get HelveticaNeueLTStd-Hv.otf or Helvetica Neue LT Std 85 Heavy to load. How did any of this loss of functionality get by your beta testers? Pretty sure we all use similar font workflows......

OSX 10.10 is right around the corner guys......hope PTI works very hard on that too.

Any news or timetable on when VDP Creator will be updated to run on Mavericks?

Thank you sir. That's the news I needed.

Alex, there is no issue. Merely a feature question.

I attached a screen capture of it....applies to versioned or variable templates.

Are there any plans to extend the functionality of the rich text editor to allow the user to select font and font size?

What does "FusionPro does not support one color" when using tifs?

Nice. So I assume this is allowed since the External Data Files library allows us to upload javascript files?

In theory one could have a dummy ExternalDataFileEx() in a callback rule and that would do the trick. Do not know if PTI would consider this a messy hack since I have never seen/heard of it being done until now.....Anyone from PTI care to chime in before a couple of us start using this method?????

Figured out why it does not work for you all......I have two external files I am loading. One is a tab delimited file that looks up sku numbers and the other is the actual .js script file. I am mapping the first file because I am using ExternalDataFileEx() but the second file is a raw .js script and therfore cannot be read by itself...meaning you need to have an actual ExternalDataFileEx() function or object in a callback rule. The trick here is that since i am using an actual database file the rest of the External Data Files library becomes visible and therefore can be mapped. This is simply pointing the template to the .js file in the same manner the FP Creator would if you had the .js in the same directory as the template. Make sense?

To be clear I have a bunch of functions in the .js file that are returned in a series of rules in the template. 1. load the file using the OnJobStart in the FP template. //OnJobStart Load("Globals.js") 2. I used the MC External Data Files library to upload. I loaded the .js file as is no changing the extension. 3. Make sure you map the external data file in the configurations file tab in the Manager template. Make sense?

Working on my end in Marcom Central. No issues that I can see. Loaded the .js file to the external data files library, made sure to map it in the configuration settings of the template, and tested the template with the javascript file mapped and unmapped to make certain it was not catching any legacy settings. Pretty cool to be able to load the bulk of my rules in case I need to make a some quick changes and not have to republish every time...Thanks PTI...

Any news/update on this Eric?

Thanks for the update Dan.

Is there a way to capture the point size used in an OnCopyfit instance? I have a "CurrentFlow.name"
