Yep, I've grabbed them and am very happy. The problems I had with beta 1 are all corrected. Now to have a play with the font creation in iSiloX...

If you find a new bug, please post it here.

Griff · 09-07-2003, 12:02 PM

I'm still hoping he adds landscape mode to ISilo for version 4.

gadgetguru · 09-07-2003, 01:05 PM

"added widescreen UX-50/UX-40 support."

So landscape should be there, at least for the UX series... Wonder if the APIs for Tapwave and T3 are the same, from what I'd heard it's 3 different Landscape APIs...

I just tried beta 3 and it was very unstable, so I went back to 3.35
Is beta 4 more stable?

-S.

cbarnett · 09-24-2003, 07:07 PM

I've had no problems with the stability of any of the betas (running Palm OS version on my Clie T615C), upgrading as each beta is released. I'm generally very happy, except that lossy compressed images take far too long to display on my poor old 33MHz dragonball

Stobs, you have probably noticed that there were no new features implemented since 4.0 beta 1. This is Darren's way of doing things - release the first beta with new features - release further betas with bugfixes for these new features. So I'd say whatever problems you had before (could you evaluate them in the bug thread?), there is a good chance that they were solved by now.

Hallo,

its the normal way, to have bugs in betas..
I just tried isilo4 shotly (2 days) and had 3 crashes, when switching to another application (I use easylaunch).
As I use isilo very often I don't want to betatest it.

I only wanted to ask if other have the same problem, or if it is perhaps a problem of my system.

I have a question about how isilox converts html (MS-Word html to be specific in this case).

As an example, I have a MS Word document, where most of the font is Arial, but some text is in courier new, to preserve space formatting. I saved this file as an html document in Word, then converted it with isilox v4b3.

When I open it in palm version isilo v4b3 or b4, all the text is in the default font. If I go into the Font selection screen, and change Monospace font to Courier new (from fontbucket), it changes ALL the text of the doc to Courier new, not just the monospaced fonts in the doc.

Is this how font support is supposed to work? I assumed the monospaced font selection would change the monospaced fonts to use that font only, but I may be mistaken, or I may be converting the html doc improperly.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Regards,
Craig.

Has _anyone_ had this problem with isilo and fonts yet??? The silence is deafening!

Craig.

cbarnett, normally iSiloX should correctly identify monospaced fonts and iSilo should correctly use your monospace font for monospaced text. How does the HTML file look like after you converted the Winword document? Did you try to use the 'save as clean HTML' (I don't remember the exact terminology) option?
