It just says 'Errors while installing.' and then it stops in progress. What is the zip file for? and see what you can do for me, I am trying to write a book and it's costing me a lot. software is being installed into /me/Apps if that helps. Please this means a lot to me!

oh, forgot I zipped it. just open a shell, navigate to where the archive is, type in gzip -d WordPerfect.app.compressed.zip ... then you should be able to double click on the .compressed file in the GUi and unarchive it. Then you will be left with "WordPerfect.app" in the directory. Just double click on it to run it like you would any program. No installation or anything needed.
Tried installing your copy from the Root user account?

What's the difference between the compressed WordPerfect.app and software on four floppy diskettes. Where can I get fonts?

Quote from: "helf"racerx, is there any way to use TTF fonts from windows with nextstep?Andrew Stone made a utility called TrueBlue that used to convert Mac and Windows fonts into the NeXT/Rhapsody Postscript font format (for use when distilling PDFs in Mac OS X using PStill)... but I don't recall it working in the later versions (at least none of the converted fonts worked for me).
Quote from: "drshmooz2001"i'm using wordperfect how do i install fonts?Fonts are a resource, so you have to put them into the fonts folder (in ~/Library/Fonts/). As I recall (as it has been a while since I added fonts), you log out and back in after placing them there and they should be active after that. If not, you could use the command line method used in Rhapsody (that I outline here (http://www.rhapsodyos.org/system/fonts/fonts_1.html)).

Quote from: "drshmooz2001"I am new to unix and need the exact commnad line to enter to install fonts. :idea:This is actually a non-command line process. I just added a font to my ThinkPad and this is what I did...
Step 1. Downloaded a font from my Fonts page.
Step 2. Unarchived the font using Opener.app (though OpenUp.app would also work)
Step 3. The font should appear in it's own window in the Workspace Manager, so just open another window and navigate to the Fonts folder. Drag and drop the new font into the folder.
Step 4. (may be optional) Log out and log back in.
Step 5. Start up an app that uses fonts and open the fonts panel. You should get a message that says something like adding new fonts.
Please note that I haven't had a chance to check all the fonts on my fonts page for compatibility with NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, so some might not work (which means that the system will use the default font instead of the one install).
The only time a command line was needed was with Rhapsody as Apple broke the system's ability to check for new fonts in the move from OPENSTEP. Command line tools are not needed here (unless you need to use them for unarchiving the fonts).

So when you hold the unarchived font's icon over the Fonts folder in your account's Library folder it doesn't display something like this?
There shouldn't be any issues with putting any type of file (font or otherwise) into that folder as it is in your account.

A couple questions... I know this might sound redundant, but we should cover all the bases.[list=1]
- Do you have a folder called Fonts in your account's Library folder? (if not, you can create a new folder there and name it Fonts... using that exact spelling and capitalization)
- When unarchived, do the fonts have the correct icon (like the ones in my screenshots) for a font?[/list:o]It might be helpful to see what you are seeing, would you be able to post screenshots of the Workspace Manager while browsing these folders? I might be able to catch something that looks off that way.

So you've gotten them in the Fonts folder?
I'm sure I've pointed these two references out before but I really can't stress how much important basic information about NEXTSTEP 3.3 and OPENSTEP 4.x are covered in them (even though they are Sun Microsystems documents).
Because all applications in NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP deal with text about the same, chapter 9: Typing and Editing (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-2102/6i63d60f7?a=view) of Using the OpenStep Desktop will come in handy when getting used to WordPerfect.

Fonts are a system wide resource, so fonts in WordPerfect aren't any different than in Edit, TextEdit, OpenWrite, Create, FrameMaker, etc.
You should be able to type out some text, highlight it, open the fonts panel, select a font, and hit the "set" button to have the font show up for that text.
...Okay, I just installed WordPerfect, and this is what I got.
Does any of this look like what you are seeing on your system?
