I have just installed ProntoEdit on my Dell Inspiron 3200 laptop (Win95, 233MHz PII), and the text labels in the configuration view (the tree structure in the leftmost pane) are displayed as all boxes (looks like a font issue). The same installer and version of ProntoEdit works fine on my Mac under SoftWindows95. I've tried reinstalling ProntoEdit on the Dell, but to no avail. Everything else seems to work correctly, but not seeing these labels is a big hindrance.
Anyone seen this happen?

It would appear (to my eye at least) as though ProntoEdit is using a custom font for those listings - it's not the standard Arial, MS Sans Serif or Tahoma. I belive it uses a font called "Pronto", which should be installed along with ProntoEdit.
Now, if you don't have that font listed in your Fonts folder (under Control Panel), you can try manually installing the font file "pronto.ttf" which should have been copied to your c:\windows\fonts\ directory. Otherwise, if it still won't appear, how many fonts do you have installed? Windows95 can begin experiencing troubles after 600, though it may sometimes accept up to 1000.

Pronto.ttf is installed and seems to work as it should, though I think that it is the font used for panel displays and the emulator. I wouldn't expect it to be used in the configuration view, but who knows? My system had about 250 fonts. I've removed 200 "non standard" ones, (leaving 50 installed) and still have a problem. I suppose it could still be a conflict with one of the 50. Any ProntoEdit engineers lurking about?

Yes, it's used for panel view, but it also appears to be used in the generic UI of ProntoEdit. Does ProntoEmulator work OK?

I'm going to ask my usual question: Do you have IE4 or IE5 installed?

ProntoEmulator works perfectly. I've also tried turning off Adobe Type Manager; no change. IE4 is installed on this system, and as we all know, there is no REAL way to uninstall Microsoft software in Windows. Best bet is to say:
"Honey, we need another computer. This one's full."

I have IE-4 installed and have no problem with ProntoEdit. I am running WinNT 4.0 SP4.

The reason for asking about IE4 or IE5 is because IE5 somehow screws up the fonts in ProntoEdit...which to overcome it, you have to re-install the whole lot on your computer (that's the impression I got from another thread). If you uninstall IE5 back to IE4, the fonts come back.
Unfortunately, in this case, the problem is not related to IE5.
