I have a feeling this problem has been talked about beforfe, but my quicksearch key words aren't bringing up anything.
I'm a longtime user and ought to know this. I dredged up an old word document with NWC sutff pasted into it and the notes are gibberish. Originally the pasted image was linked and so I know it needs boxmarks in the fonts folder. The only thing is boxmarks is already there and it still shows up as gibberish. Could it be that I need an older boxmarks font file? Where can I get one? Any advice as to how to turn the pasted image into a more stable permanent image? (PDF, but how do I do that without the original NWC source?)
Sorry, sorry folks. I did find an answer among past message. And the key words I had to use in the search were, ta-rah "Michael Marks" As it turned out, I asked the same question 9 months ago.
Can anyone direct me to the shelf for the Alzheimers medication?

It is worth re-downloading Boxmarks (etc.) from the Scriptorium. I recall, a few months ago, that there was an issue with one or two of the user fonts. I can't recall the issue, but the corrections are in the Scriptorium. I'm not sure if it involved Boxmarks.
This raises a second issue... It may be that a corrected font "un-corrects" something you have from an ancient file, which relied on an erroneous font. I don't know what to do about that.
The general nature of the issue had to with the fact that, over the years, there has been a change in the way that fonts are coded. Some older fonts used a non-standard coding method that was allowed to pass, back when it didn't matter. But now it does matter, so fonts with that kind of coding problem may not display any more.
There are other possibilities.
