Hi, I have a problem with the blitzmax IDE running on Ubuntu 16.04. I installed it and it works fine (build, compile and sound works), until I install new fonts on ubuntu (for Openoffice and others). Immediately of updating the cache of the fonts of Ubuntu, the IDE stops loading ... I have done many tests and only happens when I try to add new fonts on Ubuntu. HELP!!! And thanks :D |

Did you change fonts in MaxIDE ? If yes: does your locale (read "country") use "," for floats? So is 1.23 written as "1,23" instead of "1.23" ? If yes, then this is the culprit. In that case: open the maxide-configuration-file and replace the "12,00000" (or whatever fontsize was used) with "12.00000". There are 2 or 4 occourences in the file. On each "configuration saving" you would bork MaxIDE start. bye Ron |

it does not work. I've been doing several tests. I do not need to rebuild the font cache, just paste a folder with my fonts causes the IDE to stop loading ... If I delete my fonts folder, the Ide works again... Any suggestions, other than not installing extra fonts? :( |

I have not found a solution to this problem ... Maybe the Blitzmax IDE has a limit on the amount of fonts it can load when starting... Or maybe in my fonts I have some that is defective... Anyway, I put all my fonts in a folder called ".fonts" in my personal folder. When I need to use Blitzmax, I rename this folder. Load the IDE and rename the folder again to ".fonts"... It is not practical but it works... Regards.- |

How big is your fonts folder archived? Is it possible to share it online to help us reproduce this issue. |

I do not know the maxide sources now - but is maxide really scanning the fonts - or is it the "maxgui" part? @ defective fonts Yes, you might have some "odd" fonts. Instead of sharing all: - rename .fonts to oldfonts - create .fonts - move the first 20 fonts fron "oldfonts" to ".fonts" - start maxide - - still works? copy the next 20 and start maxide again ... - - no longer works? move back the latest 20 and just move 10 and start maxide Also starting maxide from within a console might report some issues of a library. bye Ron |
