I don't seem to find the option to change the default font in all resources in the program settings:

Thanks for sharing that George. I checked my Logos 5 installation and it shows the option like your screenshot. I should have mentioned that this happens when I'm using Verbum and not Logos 5. Might this be the first difference between the two installations? Not cool.
Even the 'set default resources font' command is not available in my Verbum:
What gives?

I have no idea why that is the case (nor did I know that prior to your mention) since while have some Verbum resources, I don't have Verbum itself. Perhaps you could run your Verbum resources in L5?

Can't the UI be changed back and forth between Logos and Verbum by issuing the command set verbum to {yes|no}? What happens if you try setting it to no. Does the ability to change your default font come back? Can you change it to what you want and then set your UI back to verbum? Does the default font change stay in effect?
Of course if all of the above works, it would only be a workaround. It sounds to me like a bug/oversight that the default font setting can't be changed in Verbum.

I understand Sleiman that he uses the Verbum installer version, not the classic L5 in "Verbum mode". Otherweise I can at least assure that the L5 latest beta does show the setting for default font in Verbum mode on my machine.

Ah, shows my ignorance. I didn't even know that the Verbum installer version was different from classic L5 in "Verbum mode".

Correct. I have 2 installation on 2 separate PCs. On one I have L5, on the other Verbum. It's only with the Verbum installation that this oddity occurs.NB.Mick said:I understand Sleiman that he uses the Verbum installer version, not the classic L5 in "Verbum mode".
Yeah, but I hate to have to re-install L5 and re-index. I just hope this gets fixed so I don't have to do that. I can live with the current font until then, of course. But one starts to wonder, what other things might be different or less functional?!George Somsel said:Perhaps you could run your Verbum resources in L5?

Neither did I until now! But I know what you mean. Someone from Logos did mention (can't remember when) that the two programs will start to diverge from one another gradually; and I think that that would be later rather than sooner (for example at the next version announcement or something).Rosie Perera said:I didn't even know that the Verbum installer version was different from classic L5 in "Verbum mode".
This surely is an oversight, but I wonder what caused it to happen. I thought that the two programs should share the same code with respect to the engine/settings/etc... ? I don't know much but this is not cool. Having to deal with bugs on two fronts must be costly to Logos and unnecessary in my opinion.

Yes, definitely not cool. It reminds me of all the non-parity issues between the Mac version and the Windows version before they began sharing more of the code base together. I hope we're not headed in that direction.

You are right, and it's even worse since the Verbum installer version doesn't go through Beta (it's not supposed to: taking part in the Beta as a Verbum mode user requires manual download every time). I was convinced that currently the two versions
period. You seem to have proved otherwise, and if so, that's bad.Sleiman said:share the same code
It still may be some IFDEF's in the same codebase - maybe someone wanted to turn on the Canon selector for hard-core Verbumists that they exposed some time ago and just turned the wrong switch. However, I tend to think that a real fork would require betas for Verbum and a really compelling case (I'm still not convinced). As long as there is a Verbum mode on Logos, the setting of "Set to Verbum" should be used as the differentiator, not some installer-specifics

I recommend changing the heading to something with 'BUG:' while you still have the time.
I'm also wondering: shouldn't the setting sync from one installation to the other?

It does, thanks for the reminder. I have to change settings on L5, quit, then restart Verbum after a few seconds, but it works.fgh said:I'm also wondering: shouldn't the setting sync from one installation to the other?

That shouldn't be necessary. Clicking the sync arrows, first on L5, then on Verbum, should be enough. Or simply wait a few minutes and the sync should happen automatically.

Using Verbum 5.2a SR-6 (5.2.1.0155) and Logos 5.2b Beta 2 (5.2.2.0228) on Windows 7, can replicate Verbum having one less program setting:

There is an active case for this issue (only an issue in Verbum). I will include a link to this post to the case so that we will update you once this issue is fixed. [:)]

This should be fixed in 5.2b beta 3. [:)]

Which is out! And this is confirmed fixed:
