I got some font issues on 10.6.8 with JRE 5.0 or 6.0: The font is replaced by Comic Sans (or similar) and the three buttons "Format", "Edit" and "Clear" don't have a label. Please see attached screenshot (Jan. ed. compared to June ed.)



Any idea how to solve this issue?

Engine: 4.8.36
GUI: 4.8.34
JRE: 5.0 + 6.0

I have the same issue (invisible labels), on both 10.6.8 and 10.7. The colors in the options (white text on light gray background) are also nearly illegible.

You can change the unfortunate default font choice (by going to "Displays and Colors" and then the "Menu Fonts" button). But that doesn't affect the visibility of the 3 main buttons.

Hi Jan, Ian,
thanks for your message. I have to admit that the colors are not acceptable for Mac OSX. I will have to change this. For the font, you can change it in the "Display" tab.
The left button is still the "Format" button
The middle button is the "Edit" button
The right button is the "Clear Button"

Best Regards
Guido

This is still a pretty big issue for OSX. The four main menus are not visible at all. A few of the side bar menus the items are off the left side bar and you can't seem to change the size of this side bar.

I played around with the menu sizes and colors options wtih no joy. The Display & Colors -> colors tab is one of the worst at having the items fall out of the visible side bar.

Here is an example of how it looks...

here is a picture of the main menu problems I see: [skitch.com]



Items off the left side bar example:[skitch.com]

The version I am running is the 4.8.43 version.

I am running the latest OSX (Lion) 10.7.3

And my Java is...

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11D50b)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

This is what the running program looks like from a PS list;

j/usr/bin/java -jar /Users/jrule/Documents/SQLinFormpro_Desktop_2012January_1.6.jar

Any and all help to resolve this is appreciated.

I have used the tool for years on a PC and I think it really rocks. Just looking for some help to get it up and running on my new work env machine mac osx.

Hi Jeff,
are the colors identical on the web online version?

Could you please send a mail to me and we will do some color testing together by mail?

The online version has the same font rendering problem as of today (05-Mar-2012), when viewing on Mac OS X 10.7.3, with safari 5.1.3

Hi, I did some testing about these issue and found that this is related to the opaque property of the buttons. I am looking now for the solution of this, May I still ask for a little bit of patience?
Regards

Hi,
I just purchased the desktop version and I have the same menu visibility issues - in fact, I could not find the option to save the Standard Options until I accidentally clicked on the (invisible) 'Options' menu item
So if you like I could help you test this issue as well.

Incidentally, I've also developed some Java desktop programs and if you want I could help you package the program for deployment on mac OSX so that it has a proper scaling Dock icon etc.

With online version 4.8.49 the colors have been adapted for Mac OS X and the menus have been re-arranged to make them all visible.
Many thanks for your feedback and support

Regards
Guido

When will we see a new version of the desktop edition that incorporates the changes that went into 4.8.49?


Thanks!

Hi Ian,
it will be published this weekend
Guido

Hi Ian,
it is ready for download

Guido
