OS/2

= SUMMARY =

When using Bitstream Fontware for Microsoft Word version 5.00 in OS/2 version 1.10, a protection violation will occur while Fontware is copying over new typeface outlines from the floppy disk. To reproduce the problem, follow the steps shown below:


 * 1) From the main menu, choose Add/Delete Fontware Typefaces.
 * 2) Press F3 to add a typeface.
 * 3) Insert the Typeface Outline Disk in Drive A and press ENTER.
 * 4) Select the typefaces to copy to the hard disk.
 * 5) Press F10 to copy the files.

The following OS/2 error message will appear:

SYS1943: A program caused a protection violation.

The following are two workarounds:


 * 1) Add the new typefaces from the DOS compatibility box, where this protection violation does not occur.
 * 2) Use the DOS DISKCOPY command and make copies of the typeface disk. Use these copied disks when adding typefaces.
