Logos Bible Software X Forum

I've used Logos with Crossover Office 2 and 3 and it works great. A little slow, but otherwise its wonderful. I installed Crossover Office 4 and as normal, deleted the entire .cxoffice tree and reinstalled everything from scratch. Logos installed without a problem and is faster than any previous version (especially running on KDE 3.3), however it has a problem where all the menus are totally illegible - in some weird hieroglyphics. Doesn't really matter, though, I never use the menus.

After a bit of mucking about, I found that the MS Sans Serif font was causing me problems. After deleting the replacement font key in the registry, the menus now display properly. This is found under HKLM\Software\Wine\Wine\FontReplacements .

What's also great about Crossover 4 is that I ran all the Libronix updates and it still works! With previous versions, some of the later updates tended to crash it. Unfortunately, the shadowed "tool tips" that appear when you hover the cursor over certain links (not toolbars, but hyperlinked text) still appear wrongly - the shadow is on top of the tip, so you can't read it. Not sure why exactly but think that one is going to be a bit harder to fix...

For the tooltip notes, if it is a short note, not a full cross-reference, clicking on it again after the black box appears would make it display correctly.

This means that Logos/Ebible works well enough, as all texts are actually visible. If it is a cross-ref, clicking on it will open a new window with it. If it is a side-note, clicking it again will make it display correctly.

Of course, I hope it will be supported and work properly later.

BTW, hope you use your privileges (as advocate) to change the screenshot, and the status of the program. I think there will be others interested. Dunno if Codeweaver's actually read the applications to be advocates anymore. I didn't hear back from them.

We still process the advocate applications by hand, and Aric is the
sole person responsible for it. And Aric recently returned from Japan,
so he's even more behind than usual (since I keep demanding that
he fix iPods with iTunes <grin>).

But he should get to you shortly.

Cheers,

Hi jeremy,

Thanks for that. Actually he has already approved me. :) And I have already added some stuff... I will be downloading the new CxOffice's and testing them...

Hahaha. Well, I wish I had an iPod to help test that.
