Subject: Fritz 9 - Interface problems
|
Installed Fritz 9 yesterday - seems pretty good. Slightly different
(better?) than Fritz 8.
The only issue I have encountered at the moment is hard to read characters
(fuzzy/'italicslike') in the engine pane. The only sections with the problem
are the evaluation and time/predicted move sections. The other sections are
fine (just like Fritz 8).
I have tried many different fonts with no success. Needless to say, I do
not have this problem with Fritz 8.
I remember this problem occurring after installing another Chessbase
engine (Shredder 8?) over the top of Fritz 8, and I managed to fix it by
changing the gui back to Fritz 8 (from Shredder?). Unfortunately the only
gui available in Fritz 9 is Fritz 9. I have tried 'repairing' the Fritz 8
install. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing Fritz 8. No go. I have
logged onto Playchess.com to update the program, but it says that I have the
latest edition (October 11 2005).
The only way around the problem is to use the Fritz 9 engine in Fritz 8,
but I would prefer to use the later version (since I paid good money for
it!).
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Any one know how to copy the
gui from one Fritz to another? I have about 5 different guis in Fritz 8
(although I only use Fritz 8).
TIA.

Do you have ClearType activated ? (this is a Windows feature, not Fritz)
(see
Control panel) this could cause such a problem...

Yes, I have ClearType activated. Already tried turning it off. Still no
go.
I appreciate all the advice. Also pleased to see that I have been thinking
along the same lines as other people. :)

Go to the menu =B4Extras- >Design=B4 and select any other style than
=B4XP-Style=B4 (e.g. =B4Wood=B4) - that should help.
Since I only have the German version, maybe =B4Extras=B4 may have an
other name in your Fritz9 GUI.

Thanks for the advice. I had already tried changing the design with no
luck.
Maybe I will just have to continue to use Fritz 9 through Fritz 8.

Go to the menu ´Extras- >Design´ and select any other style than
´XP-Style´ (e.g. ´Wood´) - that should help.
Since I only have the German version, maybe ´Extras´ may have an
other name in your Fritz9 GUI.

This is most likely a font problem. Maybe the fonts have not been installed
properly, due to a corrupted fonts folder.
Go to control panel > fonts and choose "install new fonts". Browse to the
fonts directory on the Fritz DVD, let it read the available fonts, choose
"select all" and install them again by clicking OK. Maybe it helps.
Good luck.
