3. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
For detailed information about using Envoy with Tumbleweed
Web Runtime Extensions, see the comprehensive Online Reference Guide.
The following are suggestions for troubleshooting possible situations
you may encounter in the course of using Envoy with Tumbleweed
Web Runtime Extension on Windows. Note that Envoy with Tumbleweed Web
Runtime Extension consists of several separate product components.
This section includes sub-sections for each of the components.
UNDERSTANDING MENU OR TOOL OPERATIONS
Look for the long prompts at the top and/or bottom of the viewer
screen. These prompts provide descriptions of tools and menu
commands, as well as context-sensitive suggestions about possible
actions.
PAGES OR THUMBNAILS ARE SLOW TO REDRAW AND DISPLAY IN THE VIEWER
Most often, Envoy displays document pages very quickly. The speed
with which Envoy displays pages might be decreased by the following:
1) The document file is being read from slow media, such as a floppy
disk or a CD-ROM drive. Display time can be improved by moving the
documents to a local hard drive.
2) The document includes a large color bitmap image. Display time
can be improved by choosing a lower Custom Bitmap Resolution and/or
reducing the color depth of the bitmap to 256 or 16 colors, then
printing again to the Envoy driver.
3) The document includes an intricate graphic image. Display time
can be improved either by removing some of the more complex graphic
elements or by replacing with a simpler graphic before printing to
the Envoy Driver.
ELSEWARE FONTWORKS ON WINDOWS
FontWorks for Windows by ElseWare may cause a wait cursor to appear
when the Envoy Viewer is launched. The solution is to uninstall
FontWorks from your system, and to set the fonts line in the [boot]
section of your WIN.INI file to read "fonts.fon=vgasys.fon".
COMBINING ENVOY DOCUMENTS WITH EMBEDDED FONTS
If you merge two Envoy documents with embedded fonts (using either
thumbnails or the Edit/Pages/Insert from File... command), the
embedded fonts must either exist within both files, or they must be
resident on the system; otherwise, the font may not embed properly in
the new file.
LAUNCH VIEWER, SEE ERROR MESSAGE "CANNOT FIND LANGUAGE RESOURCES..."
The language resources DLL either was not installed properly or was
removed from the Envoy/Progs directory. Either copy a new language
DLL (such as EVY7SUS.DLL) into the directory, or reinstall Envoy.
ATI MACH32 VIDEO DRIVER
On Windows the ATI Mach32 video driver may have some incompatibilities
with the Envoy Viewer. The solution is to select another video driver,
such as the standard Windows VGA driver.
NO FONTS INSTALLED ON SYSTEM
The Envoy Viewer will not function unless there is at least one
TrueType or PostScript Type 1 font installed on the system.
TOOLBAR COLORS IN WINDOWS
The colors of the Toolbar icons on the Envoy Viewer for Windows can be
affected by changing the color settings in the Windows Control Panel.
If the Toolbar colors look strange, change the color settings.
PRINTING FROM THE ENVOY VIEWER TO PCL AND POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS
For best results in printing from the Envoy Viewer: Printing to PCL
printers, use v1.26 or later version of the PCL driver, available from
Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft. For printing to PostScript printers, use
the latest version available from the printer manufacturer.
====================================================================
