What happened to the Web Mail link at the top of the forum page?
It was there yesterday!

Thanks,

The fonts work on some docs and not others. I think that when the CID library updated it caused that issue. The issue with the Type 1 error on the other machine, I don't know. Type 1 errors are supposedly either low memory, or buggy application? This is the first I've seen of it.

Don't get worked up over spelling on a mesage board. Like is way too short for that! I mean ,fro taht...

First, sorry for all the spelling errors. I typed it quickly and did not proof it.

Anyway, I also sorry you're  having problems. I can't help you other than what I mentioned about using the Quark discussion forum. Quark is a changed company despite what  you and others may believe. And I don't get a nickel from them.

And I think the opposite of you re Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator (they are all so unintuitive, and I don't like monopolies).

I guess you've checked out their other new products and extensions as it relates to your work. I used to create .ps files all the time using Quark 4 and then used Distiller to make PDFs and never had a problem.

Your initial guesses might be the best answers. And maybe your fonts are corrupted. Are there in fact licensing restrictions with MHeigh GB Light?

[I have type 1 errors on trying to create a .ps in the quark and it closes now on another 9 machine]

Thanks,

Simplified Chinese Quark only goes to version 4 so I have to use it, on 9 machines. We have 8 different versions of Quark here, and OX10 Classic too(use that most). The only Quark 6 are Japanese and English. I have to use the archaic stuff on some Asian projects because Quark has no 5 or up in them. I'm sure we'll get 7 when clients start using it.

InDesign is so much easier. You can use it for just about anything. I have to use Quark on Quark projects though.

I'm having lots of troubles with the 9 machines now, I think I need a tech to do an overhaul on them. Know anyone? I have type 1 errors on trying to create a .ps in the quark and it closes now on another 9 machine, not the one from the initial issue of this thread.

The only problems I ever have here are QUARK!

I've never seenthis error message before, but I can offer 2 options.

One is to use the Quark disxcussion forum. I have found it to be very good along with all of Quarks other customer relations. But I doubt as a company they are dpoing much support for 4.3.

Second, you need to upgrade to at least Quark 6 if you are using Tiger.


Time to bite the bullet. In fact, Quark 7 is an excelllent program. Just don't know how many commercial rinters have boiught it yet.

I'm working in Quark 4.3 and before distilling (using Distiller 4 and/or 5)a .ps I received "Update your CID library now". Did that, and now I get "MHeigh GB Light cannot be embedded due to liscencing restrictions".

This probably is related to the CID library. I do not know how to fix it. Maybe I need to reactivate it, maybe I need to get a new download for it from Acrobat.

Anybody?

When you say manually, I assume you mean you burned the files to a DVD or transferred them to a hard disk and then transferred them over.

That is strange though that your two machines could not recognize one another but other machines could and that they could also recognize other machines.  I guess it is another commentary on the unpredictability of computers.

I had similar problems with one of my g3's because it could never go into target disk mode so I had to do some workarounds in that case as well.  All in all, the good thing that came out of it is backing up all of my important files.  It is amazing to see the statistics out there on how many of us (myself included) do not back up.  I guess we are just tempting fate.

Thanks so much for your suggestions.  We actually tried all that and had no luck.  We eventually did it manually and all is working fine now.  I was just trying to figure out why it didn't work.  Both of my computers looked fine and worked with other computers but not with each other.  Very strange.  Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter any more because they are both up and running.

I have used both the linksys and the Apple router.  My exposure to the linksys router happened after it stopped working, for whatever reason.  They replaced it with a new one and of course, it was not correctly configured.  Whereas, I plugged in my Apple router and it "just worked."  The whole way of interacting with an Apple router is also different in that with a linksys router you are using a browser to configure it.  The Airport extreme has an admin setup assistant as well as the "internet Connect" utility.  It makes wifi a little easier to deal with, but it does have advanced features for people who want to tweak the settings; they are just handled differently.

Linksys routers are good, but the Apple's look cooler.  I am not sure about the performance differences in either one.  But the Airport Extreme is definitely easier to configure, but at the same time it is quite customizable.  But like most Apple products, it costs more

As far as Wifi issues.  There are a couple.  The new wifi routers coming out apparently are not backwards compatible as far as I know.  There is also at least right now an issue with wifi networks interfering with one another.  One of the ways to deal with this is to simply switch to a different "channel."  I hear that the new routers interfere even more than previously.  Still, it is nice not to have to drill and wire a place when you can avoid it.

Well, I am glad that your issue ended well.  The rolling beachball of death can be an unpleasant experience at best.
