When things go wrong ....Posted by barb in Joomla , fonts , File Maker Pro |
Chances are the same things have gone wrong for someone else!
Yesterday my husband got a new computer and moved his files over from an older Mac. He was horrified to find blank pages where his data should have been -- only a few labels displayed. Other layouts seemed to be OK. The data -- 9000+ records -- seemed to be intact. He set out to rebuild the layout for his data entry screen: ~60 labels and fields.
I set out to find the problem. A google search for "File Maker Pro 11 Snow Leopard blank" produced the solution: a problem FMP has with a slightly corrupt font folder. Turns out other people did have the same problem and that solutions were ready for the finding. In about 15 seconds he was able to open the faulty layout, select all elements on the page and change the font to anything other than Arial. Bingo!
