![]() Tomorrow (or later today?) I'll try installing some "custom" fonts, as well as installing the INIT to enable TrueType capabilities under System 6. It also "unlocked" the full control panel, which is nice. After sorting one issue out (the downside to playing with these machines late at night) I ended up doing a proper 6.0.8 install, which installed all of the system fonts anyways. I had another problem arise - the 100 MB volume on the FloppyEmu that I use with the SE was almost full, so I had to create a new 224 MB volume. I think the easiest way to solve that is to boot up mini vMac with System 7, MacBinary, BinHex (plus something to decode them), and/or a recent copy of Expander (5.5 is compatible with 7, I think), do all your decoding and expanding there, and then copy the results over via Floppy Emu to either the SE or the Classic. ![]() The safest way would probably be a), but then there's the classic catch22, wherein you download the decoder, and you need it to decode itself, but you can't because you need to decode it first :sadmac:Īnyway, here's a program for decoding MacBinaryII (unfortunately requires System 7): Īnd for BinHex 4.0 (this one appears to be System 6 compatible): ![]() sit file, but probably not by the old version. hqx are encoded in MacBinary II/III and BinHex 4.0, respectively, and must be decoded before you can work with them (later versions of Classic Stuffit Expander (such as 5.5, included with Mac OS 8.x and 9) can do that, but evidently, the early version you're using can't, so you must either a) find a separate program to do it or b ) you can decode them on modern macOS, which shouldn't wreck the resource forks because as far as I know, they're still a is a self extracting sit archive, most likely requiring System 7 to run (it can be extracted by Expander like a normal. I didn't even bother trying it with the SE since I knew it probably wouldn't like it, either.įiles with the extensions. sea.hqx file?)ĭo fonts take up RAM at all times? I read somewhere that adding more fonts will use more RAM on startup and all times, which is a precious resource on the SE since it only has 1 MB of it.Īlso, I had to use the Font/DA Mover included with ConcertWare since the "standalone" Font/DA Mover I downloaded from Macintosh Garden was "locked" and therefore Mini vMac didn't like it. I also wasn't able to load the TrueType INIT either, mostly for the same reason. bin file on the Dog Cow's MacGUI website - I don't even know how to properly open that. I wasn't able to get any additional fonts loaded from the. Helvetica looks really pixelated when increased in size (to 18 pt.) whereas it's more crisp on the Classic when increased to the same size. I was able to use the Font/DA Mover to move some fonts over, specifically from Mini vMac to the SE volume.
