Hello all,

I just tried to get the December Painter 7 upgrade and neither the Windows or the Mac versions seem to be available. Does anybody know what’s up?
Second a number of fonts in the Mac Painter 7 on OS X don’t draw properly. This includes some system fonts. They end up with strange fills and extraneous lines. Has any one seen anything like this before. The fonts work fine in other applications.

David,

Below is a copy of the message I sent to the various Painter lists,
newsgroups, etc. back in December when people were having trouble with
the Procreate site.. which still seems to be the case. It contains
direct links to all of the files in the Painter 7 Update package. I've
just checked each link and they are all working... and take you to the
files you need to download. Be sure to read the installation
instructions. Also, try to download the patch file during non-peak hours
since it's a really big one and a lot of people said they had to try
several times before they could get the whole thing downloaded at once.

Good luck.. and maybe your font problem will be fixed with the patch..
let's hope!

Jinny

I had to look at the page source to see there was any message at all.
