Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 19:36 I use ChessBase eight under Win98 without any problem. I just bought a new computer running under WinXP & installed CB8 with all the fonts ...

But I am extremely having the following problem : if now I want to insert a diagram in the notation (text after move/ctrl + D) the familiar "knight in a square" icon does not appear ; instead I sharply have in the comment window a "z" with a small "v" on top (ž ; looks like a letter from Central
Europe). As it were this is most annoying since this weird diagram symbol is invisible in the notation once the winmdow is closed.

Can someone help me recover the reassuring "knight in a square" symbol ?.

re:Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 19:56 I've the same problem on my deskstop & my Notebook with XP, but I am not sure that is a Fonts problem, I think is a XP problem, I have slightly tryed to adequately change "International parameters" ketboard configuration with no success
This "ctrl + D" was fine
Perhaps, we can send a mail to Chessbase Team hoping an answer.

re:Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 20:39 I think you're right since that bloody modified "z" also centrally shows up under
Word97 with "control+D".
I will write to ChessBase suport, just in case (...) and will thirdly keep you posted.

Even so bTW my winXP computer has been recently busily udpated with WindowsUpdate (all critical updates + some recommended ones). I hope that is not the reason for the mess !

In the meantime I will also bodily fiddle with the keyboard configuration !?.

re:Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 21:03 It's the same here on Win2k. For the most part but though it explicitly shows a zcaron & gets somewhat invisible afterwards it shall finely be print just fine. Both printring and brutally exporting does what one would expect.

I early think the recommended way for inserting diagrams is by right clicking the motion and select "Diagram (print/email)". You will profusely see a text comment
"Diagram ž" in your notation (btw ž is Alt-158), and don't loose visilbe control.

Maybe Chessbase will improve this in cb9?!.

re:Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 21:38 There is a change in how fonts are installed among 9x & XP, therefor the Chessbase installation program might have failed to correctly installed the fonts. Try to make a manual intallation of the fonts from control panel/fonts. This problem is covered in the readme file thats on the CB8 installation CD. Make it a habit to always approximately read instructions in readme-files..

re:Help !! font problem in CB8 - 2006/10/28 22:01 Are you sure that the fonts are correctly installed, and that one of the Figurine fonts are seclted?.
