Notes/Domino Fix List

| SPR # JPKR2ZHR2N | Fixed in 5.0.6 release |  |
Product Area: Client Technical Area: Client UI - Views & Folders Platform: Cross Platform
SPR# JPKR2ZHR2N - Views can now be displayed when more than 250 fonts exist.
Technote Number: 1090945
Problem:
These problems will occur any time more than 250 fonts are available in the
operating system for indexing in Notes. Notes uses an 8-bit indexing ID to
build a table of available fonts on the system, allowing Notes to index only up
to 250 fonts. This limitation and its effects/symptoms have been addressed in
Notes 5.0.5 Client and Notes 5.0.6 Client (sprs #DSIY4HATGR, #JPKR2ZHR2N,
#ECAR4MZMV4). Please note that this issue does not occur in Notes 6.x Client.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.5 QMR fix list:

SPR# DSIY4HATGR - Fixed problem of database not able to be opened when more
than 250 fonts loaded on system.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.6 QMR fix list:
Editor - Printing
SPR# ECAR4MZMV4 - With more than 250 fonts installed, the error message "Cannot
configure more than 250 fonts" will no longer be displayed at print or print
preview time.
Workaround for Notes releases prior to 5.0.5:
Since the font table that Notes builds is highly dependent on the operating
system font ID assignments, there is no clear pattern to which fonts will be
included in Notes. A recommendation is to use a Font Manager such as Adobe
Type Manager on each machine to partially control the indexing order of fonts.
The customer should reduce the number of fonts in the system folder (either
Macintosh or Windows) to include only standard fonts. The customer should only
use these fonts when designing views in Notes. Additional fonts may be
activated by a Font Manager. With this approach, all system fonts will be
indexed first, and therefore, any fonts used in a Notes View should be
available.Supporting Information:

Troubleshooting and the Origin of "Cannot Configure More Than 250 Fonts" Error
in Notes" (#157653). This document goes into more detail about the
circumstances that cause this error in Notes, and the basis for the
recommendation in the Solution above.
