Love your program but I have issues

Matt Hayes — Tue, 7 Oct 2008 02:26:18 -0400

I would like to second a request for the 2009 versions of the above files.

Ygor, you have done an amazing thing by providing these files. Most people seem to have no problem but I've tried a few time in the last year to make it work on the classic size and it doesn't work for me.

I have a printer that has that page size so I select it and set days to Sunday, margins from printer, if I print it needs a blank page at the beginning, so they are all off. If I try to output to pdf, the image of the calendar goes blank and the pdf file is also blank.

I don't know if it matters but - windows xp, gateway tablet pc, adobe acrobat full version installed.

Thanks for your service,
Matt

Got IT!

For some reason, even though the text fields were set as Blue Highway, the font wasn't. Odd, because it printed correctly in OpenOffice. I highlighted all of the text in the document and changed everything back to Blue Highway and the document is complete.

How would I go about submitting the template to the site?

Thats all fine but...

I would run Linux over both if work would allow.

Any ideas on the font?

get a Mac ?

It's one thing to tell PC users that a Mac is better, but to show them that even a PC is better when it runs on a Mac really drives the point home.

Hi Ygor,

I come back to you to ask you if you have an estimated upload date for the corrected international french files for "Two Pages per Month" and "Two Pages per Week".
(PlaNnification word with an excess of "n").

You mailed me in August that the typo was corected ...

Cheers.

Font Date

Even though this is a Mac only thing, I checked the fonts. The fonts I have are in XP from 2007, three years newer than the font in the widget kit.

Anyone have other ideas?

Mac-only

That's a mac-only thing, and what happens is you get exclamation points instead of spaces.

I recall there were people encountering problems with some copies of the font. Might be worth double-checking that you have the latest version installed.

Font is Installed

Ken W — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 03:31:13 -0400

Yes, I installed the font into Windows using the fonts applet in the Control Panel.

Font installed?

Do you have the Blue Highway font installed on your computer?

PDF of new Form

Ken W — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:45:28 -0400

I have made a new form to handle project meetings and it looks great. The problem I have is that when I PDF the form, the fonts all revert from the default font used by the DIY Planner Widget kit to Times New Roman. If I can fix that, I can PDF and share this with the template library and coworkers.

I tried using a PDF printer as well, but the widget pieces get distorted. They only look good if I use the PDF Export function of OpenOffice. Then I get the font issue. Has anyone run into this? Is there a workaround? I like the default font and would like to keep it. - Thanks!

What a sweet idea!

What a sweet idea!

Thanks for the reminder, Jon, you are correct

It is getting some "words" -- like names of days and months -- from system settings. If you want a totally English template, you must set your system to English.

Dutch system?

jonglass — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:33:10 -0400

If you have a Dutch-language system, it might actually be finding the Dutch from there. I know my Polish system tries to use Polish if it can, which can be distracting to see an English menu (a program with only English-language resources), with one or two items in Polish, but I haven't found any way to get rid of that. :-( I chalk it up to Microsoft "intelligence" (I know, an oxymoron, but....)
