I have tried all the tricks of refreshing the font folder in the control panel. And I have also applied the registry fix that Pinnacle is supplying to fix the score font thing.

To no avail

Anyone ever get over this mess?

How do you return a defective software product.

Could I get a refund?
I just bought it today and am already a disgrunted custimer.

I have SL2.20.35

Just to be clear have you done this?
Go to Control Panel/Fonts. Press CTRL-A to select all. Close the window.

just what exactly is the problem you're having?

Yes, that is what I meant by refreshing the folder. I have done it maybe twenty times as you said to do it, but it never improved the situation. These fonts are installed and they are all showing up both in the registry and in the "set font" sub-menu under MIDI/Score in Cubase SL2.2

BTW what do you have for font in that little window?
In Score edit, I get telephones, scissors (thats the flats), twirlings, mailboxes, etc. buut few notes if any.

Dammit, there is a fonts cache that gets built that sometimes needs to be rebuilt, and I can't remember the name of it!

Least it was there for Win95, and not sure if it's still there for WinXP. Lemme think about the name of it, or if someone else remembers? ttfcache or some such? Been a LONG time since I've seen weird font problems...

Ok, it was ttfcache and applied to Win95 through WinME. Not seeing it apply to WinXP though.

You'd either delete the ttfcache file in the windows directory and reboot, or go into safe mode, then back into normal mode, and the cache would rebuild. This would fix wrong font/strange font/funky font problems. Pity if they killed it, or simply renamed it to something else. Might just want to try booting into Safe Mode then back into normal mode (Press F5 when it says Startings Windows XP at the very beginning). What do you got to lose except 5 minutes of trying?

the powertools, er., "tweakUI" available on cnet and the like (orig. programmed by MS) will repair the font folder often. Free, has helped me before.

I am going to try a demo of Tweak Manager 2.1, the only one at cent that points to XP.

Also the idea of REPAIR
I could repair the Windows XP from the CD, this would not wipe out my registrations would it? As it is not an install.

Repair installs to NOT wipe out XP. I just did it like 2 weeks ago.

in score edit I get nice looking notes. not that I ever use score..wonder if you've got the right font at all. i was doing a a google search in the cubase newsgroup last night trying to find some answers..all I could find was the solution I gave you, and that cubase uses (I think it was) Scorefont 4 or something like that.

Yes I am aware of these and I do have score font 4 in my fonts folder, and it is active and listed in my register. I found out that the "set font" feature applies to the text within score and not the notes, which have a unique and unsettable font(s).

I suppose I will do the following:
A: Re-install SL2 and patches after an uninstall (after all I only got it yesterday). And not start a fisrt project as an import from VST but let it regurgitate its own way first (using that "first day" project).
B: Failling that REPAIR Win XP

Sound sound? (sic)

I surely did not intend to use SL as a score editor. But having been trained early in the classics (age 9), I use it occasionally to check on where I am at, scale, note and key-wise. So although it is seldom used I do depended upon it, as a crutch .

What happens if you go into Word and select that font. Is it the right font or not?

If i select score font as a font i can display musical symbols. (Wordpad, dont have Word).
I can also see the font symbols by opening the files in the font folder.

Whether these musical notations are the correct ones (???) not sure.

So the fonts are there....SL is not using them... so amybe a re-instll of SL ?

Try it, it's not going to hurt. Sounds like font corruption though. You try going into safemode then back out again yet?

Yes

Maybe a Win-XP repair from CD is in order first. I have done that many times and there was no problem with registration numbers and the like although I do think I did have to re-install some applications after,
