(Archived) Note Formatting Broken?

[robbyb327 0]

Hi,

Got a puzzler here. I have Evernote on two Macs. On one, I can format text within notes using the formatting bar. On the other, I can't; nothing I do changes the text. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Thanks.

Do you see this problem even if you start a new note and only type into the note? (I.e. no clipping or pasting?)

Are you using different versions of OS X or Safari on these computers?

Hi Dave,

Yup, it happens with a brand-new note, and both computers are running 10.6.6, with v 5.03 of Safari.

Could it be some kind of font cache issue?

I've heard of "font cache" problems in a few cases, but that's certainly unusual. You could try:

Dave,

That did it! Here's one for your anecdotal database, and maybe your knowledgebase, too.

One thing, though: The MacWorld article has the commands slightly wrong; the server stuff didn't work due to an extra "$", but the comments provided the fix.

The commands to remove the current user's font cache, and stop and restart the font server should be:

atsutil databases -removeUser

atsutil server -shutdown

atsutil server -ping

Thanks so much for your prompt help.

Evernote is way cool.
