Q. What is WorldScript?
A. WorldScript supports most written languages in the base system
software. WorldScript includes support for text input and display,
as well as for incorporating language attributes, such as date and
time formats.
This technology is incorporated into System 7.1 to provide the same
system-level support for non-Roman languages, such as Japanese and
Arabic, that Apple has always provided for Roman languages, such as
English, French, German, and Spanish.
Q. Why am I getting a message about a 128-file limit on the Fonts
folder?
A. The Fonts folder can hold a maximum of 128 files. This includes font
suitcases, and individual font files like bitmapped (or screen)
fonts and TrueType fonts. It doesn't include PostScript (or printer)
fonts.
Suitcases can contain multiple font families and can be as large as
16MB. If you have more than 128 files, place individual bitmap or
TrueType font files into suitcases, or merge suitcases. Merge
suitcase files by dragging one suitcase file on top of another
suitcase file.
Q. How do I create a font suitcase?
A. You can't create a font suitcase with System 7.1, but you can
duplicate an existing suitcase. If you need an empty suitcase,
duplicate a suitcase and throw away its contents. You can duplicate
the remaining suitcase as many times as you need.
Q. Is System 7.1 slower than System 7.0?
A. No. There are a few things you should check if performance seems
slow:
Make sure File Sharing and Virtual Memory are off when not in use.
Check all third-party extensions for compatibility with System
7.1.
Check the Views control panel to make sure "Calculate Folder
Sizes" isn't checked.
Q. I'm using Adobe Type Manager and Suitcase with System 7.1. Do I
need an upgrade?
A. System 7.1 requires version 3.0 or later of Adobe Type Manager (from
Adobe Systems) and version 2.1.2 or later of Suitcase (from Fifth
Generation Systems). Contact the manufacturers for specific upgrade
information.
Q. I just upgraded from System 6, and now I'm getting random system
errors.
A. Make sure all devices in the SCSI chain attached to your Macintosh
computer are powered on before you start it up.
Try starting your Macintosh computer while holding down the Shift
key to turn all extensions off. This will identify an extension (or
INIT) conflict. If no errors result, an extension probably
conflicts with the system or other extensions.
If your computer crashes when you have Virtual Memory on, contact
your hard drive vendor to verify that your hard drive formatting
software is compatible with System 7.1.
