#3574 — Missing font: Corpus.Medium.IntMetric0

Does anyone know how or where to get Corpus.Medium.IntMetric0; NetSurf
declares it is missing when attempting to print out certain pages, and
I understand it is also implicated in otherwise unexplained crashes
when accessing text fields etc on certain sites. Thanks

Well how about some more information then and someone could perhaps 
help you

i.e

System
RISC OS Version
What !Boot do you have

Don't follow this - surely Corpus is a ROM based font. Everything
required should be in the ROM. On my Iyonix - Open Apps from iconbar,
ADJUST click on close button - gives Resources:$ filer like display.
Go to Fonts.Corpus.Medium. There is IntMetric0 file.

In which case, could something (ROMFonts?) be unexpectedly UNPLUGged
which could affect this??

It should be in the Resources filing system already: Menu-click on the Apps
icon and open the root directory.

In the directory Fonts you should find a Corpus directory, and in there
Bold and Medium directories.

In Medium should be the file IntMetric0.  If it isn't, something has been
messing with your modules (if you'll pardon the expression).

Further to my previous post - I have noticed you contributing to the
ROOL fora, and you use a BeagleBoard. I have had a thought. When I
was building the OMAP3 ROM on my own machine before Christmas, I had
a lot of trouble initially because there were a lot of 'Font' things
missing from the OMAP3 source Resources part. I ended up having to
copy stuff over from the Tungsten (Iyonix) source into the OMAP3
source before I could get a build to work.

What vintage is your OMAP3 ROM? I assume that is what your present
query relates to. I have just checked my ARMini with a ROM from 4 Dec
last and that certainly has the files in Resources:

Thanks to all for the assistance, and apologies for not being specific
regarding my system: it is RPCEmu 0.8.9 running RISC OS 4.02 on a
Windows7 (64-bit) PC.  The 4.02 ROM came from RISC OS Ltd AFAICR.  I
have checked !Boot.Resources.!Fonts and the Corpus directory contains
Medium and Bold subdirectories. The former contains two fonts:
IntMetrics and Outlines plus two further subdirectories, Oblique and
Small Caps. Small Caps contains two fonts, IntMetric0 and Outline0;
Oblique also contains 2 fonts, IntMetrics and Outlines. The Bold
subdirectory is structured exactly the same. Therefore IntMetric0 is
only available for Medium-Small Caps and Bold-Small Caps. Is this
normal? I have compared my Iyonix !Boot.Resources.!Fonts directory and
it is identical; however, NetSurf was stable on that system, so the
mystery remains.

Nonetheless, I have now (I think) bypassed the original issue by
altering the default monospaced font to Typewriter in NetSurf-Choices-
Fonts, since when the NetSurf crashes have ceased.

I would've thought those particular fonts should live in 
Resources:$.Fonts or something, not in !Boot.Resources.!Fonts - I'd try 
moving them out of !Boot.Resources.!Fonts temporarily (and rebooting) 
and see if that helps, as then it should fall back to using the ones in ROM.

Corpus Medium and Corpus Bold plus their Obliques are in ROM and 
appear in Resources:$.!Fonts.

Fonts are searched for down Font$Path which is of the form :-

HostsFS::$.!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.,<Font$Prefix>.,Resources:$.Fonts.

Anything in !Boot.Resources.!Fonts will have a higher priority than 
the ROM fonts and will override the ROM font. In this case apparent 
garbage in !Boot.Resources is breaking the font.

SmallCaps were an additional font required by NetSurf and do belong in 
!Boot.Resources.!Fonts and that is all that should be there. There 
should only be four files only :-

!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.Corpus.Bold.SmallCaps.IntMetric0
!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.Corpus.Bold.SmallCaps.Outlines0
!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.Corpus.Medium.SmallCaps.IntMetric0
!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.Corpus.Medium.SmallCaps.Outlines0

(SmallCaps were also supplied for Homerton.)

I do not believe SmallCaps are now required at all by NetSurf.

It may not be as simple as just removing extraneous files, any 
Messages1 file needs to be updated and there is no font rescan tool 
for OS4.0x. (I can however report that Select's !ScanFonts 0.20 does 
work on the ARMini with Alignment Exceptions On.)

Presumably you mean within the Corpus directory. I have many more fonts in my
Virtual Acorn SA 4.02, put there seemingly by EasyFontPro, my font manager
programme.
Incidently to that, I tried to produce a list of those fonts by doing a
select drag of the directories to a StrongEd file. In 4.39 that gives the
leafname (or is it pathname?) of the directory (ies) but in 4.02 it just gave
a "Can't losd a directory" error message. Did that function only appear in
4.39 (& later)?

Should that not be a SHIFT SELECT Drag?

Giving the fully specified filenames of the Corpus SmallCaps font 
files also gives the directory structure. There should be nothing else 
in !Boot.Resources.!Fonts.Corpus.

Obviously there a more files than just those four in 
!Boot.Resources.!Fonts.

Thanks for that. Might come in handy. Looking at the folder, it contains...
nsfonts.Fonts.!Fonts.Churchill
nsfonts.Fonts.!Fonts.Corpus
nsfonts.Fonts.!Fonts.Homerton
nsfonts.Fonts.!Fonts.Sassoon
nsfonts.Fonts.!Fonts.Trinity

It looks as though they are the standard offerings of those fonts with a
Small caps folder inside. Can they just be loaded over my original ones or
perhaps I need to delete & replace. Any ideas?
