Link Text Missing from Personal Books on Macs Running Yosemite

I'm testing Logos Beta version 5.2b Beta 3 for Mac on a Mac running OS X Yosemite Beta 2.

When I compiled a Personal Book with a couple of hyperlinks, a couple of them are missing and just displaying a solid line instead.

Thought I'd report this bug in.

Thanks!

Are you able to post a source document containing just those two links so we can check if it is reproducible on other platforms?

I'm in the process of uploading the source docs to StillTruth, but I could post them here as well if you wish to test them.

I've also noticed that some books I read have "missing words" on the same beta release running on Yosemite. I was reading through Spurgeon's NT Characters book, and a lot of words throughout the chapter were "missing" with large gaps in them.

This is a known bug in Yosemite - change your default font to e.g. arial.

Sounds good! Will do. Thanks!

I am feeling pretty sheepish asking this, but how do we change the default font in Yosemite?

No need to feel sheepish, but the recommendation is to change the default font in Logos, not in the OS. Use either Preferences under the Logos Menu or Program Settings under the Logos Tools Menu.

Jack, I now know why I could not find it - default resource font is not showing in my preferences pane, as you will see here:

FYI - I am running Verbum 5.2a SR-7 (5.2.1.0171) on Mac 10.10 Developer Preview 4 (Build: 14A298i). Any ideas?

This is a known bug in Verbum 5.2a; it will be fixed in 5.2b. See this thread for more details: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/85619.aspx

Hi Bradley, we all do appreciate your update on this! In that post, one recommendation that was suggested was to download Logos and set the mode to Verbum. Do you recommend doing that, or just waiting for 5.2b to be released?

Keep up the great work!

download Logos and set the mode to Verbum. Do you recommend doing that

This will re-download your entire library, re-index it, etc. I do not recommend it (unless you've got lots of free hard disk space and spare time).

I don't know if this will work or not, but you could try typing "set default resource font to arial" into the command box at the top of the program window. (It's possible that the setting can be changed even though it doesn't appear in the Program Settings panel. Be sure to specify a font your system actually has.)

If that doesn't work, and you really need to be able to change the default font, you could consider updating to the 5.2b Beta of Verbum. Note that there are risks to doing this, but Beta 5 has proven to be fairly stable so far.

Bradley,

I first tried "set default resource font to arial" in the command box, but that brought up a search window.

I then set the update channel to beta and downloaded several updates. Once 5.2b Beta 5 was installed, I was able to see Default Resource Font in the prefs pane. I changed it to arial and all the text shows up now.

As you can probably tell, I am not afraid of beta testing software; many thanks for helping me to get this upgraded, big time!
