Hello,

On a 10.5 G4 Mac we came across an interesting problem (and I think I've
seen this before somewhere).  So the menus were unreadable.  This was
because some font (in this case Lucida) was not available and so Tk
substituted some broken alternative.  I had a quick look and I couldn't
see any way to determine if a font will behave like this.  Indeed, on my
Mac I tried setting some nonsense fonts and the menus came out perfectly
readable.  Unfortunately if the menus come out unreadable it is difficult
to change the font to something that is not broken inside Analysis because
it's obviously hard to find the correct menu.

So if anyone notices this then the best way to deal with this is to change
the font in the relevant XML file.  Check for the two files:

    PROJECT_DIR/ccpnmr/AnalysisProfile/*.xml

and

    ~/.ccpn/data/ccpnmr/AnalysisProfile/*.xml

Here PROJECT_DIR is the project directory, ~ is the user's home directory,
and the * represents some long semi-meaningful string which depends on the
project, the user and the time the file was created.

One or other of these files might not exist, but check whichever does.  In
the file check for lines like:

  <ANAP.AnalysisProfile.font>
    <IMPL.Line>Lucida 12</IMPL.Line>
  </ANAP.AnalysisProfile.font>

The font that is named is the font that is causing the trouble.  Try
changing it to "Helvetica 12", then save the file.

Start up Analysis again and hopefully the problem will be solved.
