* Using FH using Crossover on MacBook - report problems

[narrowboatdave]

Having used FH for many years on my old Windows laptop, I was disappointed not to be able to use it on my new MacBook Air. I started to use Reunion, but found this a poor substitute.

However, I recently succeeded in opening up FH 6 on the new Mac laptop by using CrossOver and it is good to be back! It works pretty well, but I do have a major problem with reports.

I want to produce a descendant report, but nothing appears apart from the media items connected to each record and a series of lines - in other words, no text. Is it something I'm not doing right, or is it a quirk of using CrossOver. If the latter, is it possible to work round this in any way?

Particularly

Some FH Reports may display text incorrectly, but this is usually cured by using Tools > Preferences > General > Advanced > Emulator Compatibility Mode.

Thanks, Jane. Simples, to quote a meerkat.....

I wouldn't have thought about that at all - that level of technique is some way over my head.

Many thanks
