Hi all - Has anyone seen the following rendering issue? It seems to have an
issue drawing vertical lines (bars, note stems). I am not certain if this is a
font issue, or other unrelated issue.
This is a problem related to the Guido font. You're likely using a font that
doesn't corresponds to the engine framework. Please, send more details about
versions, platform etc... (the Guido font has recently changed, with the
release 1.38)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm on OS X (10.6), guidolib-1.38-devkit-macosx, guidolib-1.38-devkit-Qt.
I installed the Guido font from the guidolib-1.38-devkit-macosx folder. The
sample apps that seem to bundle their own font version seem to work great, but
anything I try to compile has this font issue.
Does this mean that perhaps the font in the guidolib-1.38-devkit-macosx folder
is the incorrect version? I tried replacing with the font from the sample
apps, but I think it may be exactly the same version of the font.
Thanks again for your help,
Henry
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The Guido font for version 1.38 should be version 3 and should have a size of
41424 bytes. On Mac OS, the version number is available from the copyright
notice (get info on guido2.ttf). Make sure that your font is properly
installed : on MacOS and using the Font Book.app, it seems that you need to
remove the font first before installing the new version.
Another solution is to make reference to the guido font in your local folder.
I've got similar behavior when updating the guido font. To solve the problem,
I've had to clear all the projects (removing the corresponding build folders)
and to rebuild everything from scratch. Up to now, that remains unexplained to
me.
Let me know if it solves your problem.

Strange to me :-(
Have you tried to clear all the projects and to rebuild everything from
scratch? Have you also tried to remove the font from your system and to
reinstall it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Found the solution! The GUIDOEngine-Info.plist in the guidolib-1.38-devkit-macosx.tar distribution indicates that the included GUIDOEngine framework is version 1.37 instead of 1.38. If I steal the actual framework for version 1.38 out of one of the sample applications and install this locally, this works great. Did someone put the wrong framework in the tar??

Again, there is obviously a font problem.
What version are you using? (there a whole suite of viewer 09, from 0.91 to
0.93)
Next, on windows, the viewer is supposed to load the font from the application
folder, but probably unless you have the guido font installed in your system.
Can you check that?

Thanks Dominique. I downloaded gmninst0.9.exe from http://clef.cs.ubc.ca/sali
eri/nview/download.html a
few days ago. In the About box the version is given as: 0.9 (30/Oct/2002). The
file version (Windows Properties) of gmnview.exe is: 1.0.0.6. the font file
guido2.TTF is only in C:\Windows\Fonts. The font file is 41424 bytes in size.
Where are the versions 0.91 to 0.93 you mentioned? I have only seen reference
to 0.9.
Thanks!

I downloaded GuidoNoteViewer-0.9.3.0.zip and unzipped it into a new folder.
However, when I run NoteViewer.exe I get:
"Error starting program - A required DLL file MSVCR80.DLL was not found"
I've checked and this file is not on my PC.

Fixed! Following the "missing DLL" issue I downloaded 0.92 instead. This also
produced garbled display initially, but then I removed guido2.ttf from
c:\windows\fonts and now NoteViewer works! I've just successfully imported two
Bach inventions (MIDI).

Unfortunately the installed font is already v3 and the size corresponds to the
one you gave me above. Not quite sure how to proceed here.
Thanks,

Yes I have tried this :( Could there be an issue with the font that is in the
OS X distribution tar?

I'll check.. and you're right. I'll put the correct version on SF.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for pointing this out.

I get very similar corrupted results on Windows 98SE. I installed NoteViewer
09. See here:
http://www.littletyke.myzen.co.uk/guido98se.html
Could I use a font from an earlier release?
Again, there is obviously a font problem.

See at the project files on sourceforge:

If you ever want to get the latest version, note that the version 0.93 depends
also on the following system specific dlls:
You can probably find them to download (for example: http://www.dll-
files.com/ - but I never tried ...)
