Warning icon on Font folders added path

Post by Antipodes »

Hi All,
Running MainType 4.5 professional. I have just installed a SBS server at our location and have moved all our files to the server.
I deleted the existing groups and path for where the stored fonts used to be.
But I cannot seem to get it to accept the new network path and it has a yellow warning triangle which I cannot find any info in the documentation or on the High logic site.
Can anybody tell me what this warning icon is and what the implications it is imposing??

The documentation does seem to indicate it should work on network paths alright, so not sure why the problem??

I have tried a full path but the same icon comes up and it will not refresh the new folders.

Thanks

Hi again all,
As I did not receive a fix or reply on this, I attempt a number of fixes for this.
Tried to change authorities to administrator.
Changed shares on the drive in question!
Changed folder names! (In case of length or space issues)

I was going to do a remove and reinstall of Maintype 4.5 to see if this would fix the issue.
However I downloaded a trial of 5.1 and it has fixed the problem.
Still not sure what the Triangle means or why it came up, but I up and running again and I am now happy to pay the upgrade to 5.1.
(Oh and I only had standard not professional as it turns out)
Glad I got it sorted as I really like this programe.

(Just for info, I tried a program called FontExpert2013 in my desperation to sort my fonts again and it did not even run, did not like redirected folders)
