Reports appear blank on screen

Post by glio » 08 Feb 2020 23:15

Can anyone tell me how I can make the text appear on reports created with FH, when on the screen. The only thing I can see is any media attached to the report. When I print the report all the relevant text is there but the media isn't!
I am using FH within Crossover on a Mac

Hello Geoff, I have moved this from the User Group Information>General forum, which is for discussions not directly related to FH, to the General Usage forum.

This section in the Knowledge Base might help: how_to:family_historian_v6_on_crossover_wine|> Family Historian V6 & Ancestral Sources V5 on Crossover, PlayOnLinux/Mac & Wine . Under 'Reported Problems it says "Some FH Reports may display text incorrectly, but this is usually cured by using Tools > Preferences > General > Advanced > Emulator Compatibility Mode. "

If you have already tried this, ask again and no doubt some users with their own experience of running FH under Crossover will come to your aid.

Lorna's fix is what I had previously done to solve a similar problem with Linux/Wine

Many thanks to both responders. I thought there would be a simple answer, but it was buried fairly deep!
