Links in amigans.net are just text ? [solved]

Hi,

I am using OWB 1.15 (not got round to getting 1.16 yet) and none of the links in amigans.net seem to work, they are just displayed as text. AWN seems to work OK, amigans used to work OK with older versions of OWB, I think I did see the same problem with 1.12 too but have been away so cannot recall fully. I noted some links are also not working on some other sites but most seem OK.

Is anyone else seeing this ? Seems not as some of you are posting here using OWB which would be difficult if all links are just interpreted as plain text like I am getting here.

Any ideas as to what is happening and how it can be fixed ?

Please start OWB from a shell and check if there are font related errors messages.

I tried running from the shell already but get no error messages to report

I will try to see if doing something with the fonts will help. It was after copying over the corefonts in order to fix other crashes that I think things went astray.

@BillE

I have sometimes noticed that you need to wait until the page is fully loaded, then hold the mouse over the link for a little while, before it "springs to life" and can be clicked. Keep an eye on the changing mouse pointer (maybe you need the very latest OWB for this).

Best regards,

I did that : gone to typemanager, uninstalled all the fonts, re-installed all the fonts (make sure you install also the fonts recommended for OWB) and the problem was gone

Hope it helps

Is there more involved than just downloading corefonts.lha ?

There are no ttf files to install in that archive, just the .otag and .font files which I have copied to fonts:

Do I need something else too ?

Does it work for you now, maybe you can edit the tread topic to "Solved"
