A Couple of questions from a newbie

    1) can I change the default font on OWB to a sans serif one?
    I've changed the settings from times to arial, but it makes no difference

    2) I use Google Music as my main music player, on MorphOS/OWB I can see it's streaming but I cannot hear anything, music on the HDD plays fine

    3) Is there a step-by-step easy to use guide to get E-UAE/WHDLoad/UAELoad working?

    edit:
    4) I'm also having trouble with VNCServer, it's working how I want, yet if I put it in WBStartup, I get an 'Unable to bind socket' error on start up

    any help appreciated

    1) Some sites use embedded fonts. You can't override this (unless tweaking the CSS with some javascript).
    2) Change AHI settings in prefs to Unit 0/... It should solve the audio output problem.
    3) In french. http://obligement.free.fr/articles/integrer_euae_ambient.php

    the font "issue" is the browser/morphos, the text for example on facebook it serif on MorphOS but sans on Windows

    AHI is already 0, none of the others work either, maybe an OWB problem?

    You did use the "download fonts" icon, did you?

    Nope, didn't see anything saying download fonts, and I assumed with it giving me a list to choose from that those fonts were available. Thank you, I will try this tonight

    Thank you, seems TheCodeMan is on the same path as me with his 2 latest posts, I cannot afford the licence until the 15th of next month so I was looking for a way to reboot every 30 mins so I can connect via VNC from Work and get the whole computer configured without taking time away from my family on an evening!


    Anyone know anything about the problem with playing music from Google Music in OWB then?
    that seems to be my only problem now

    thanks

    The script for downloading the web fonts including its icon is located in the OWB directory or archive.

    They are indeed, but those are not the ones you will want to use with OWB.

    not sure what you mean?
    I want a sans serif font rather than times so I set it to Arial but it still uses Times.

    I mean that MorphOS doesn't come with fonts that are really suitable for viewing modern web pages (probably for legal reasons). That's why OWB comes with a script file that once gets executed by you will download web fonts which will then be used by OWB.
    Your statement that you "didn't see anything saying download fonts" has implied to me that you haven't executed this script yet.

    > I want a sans serif font rather than times so I set it to Arial but it still uses Times.

    If the website in question is "hard-coded" to use a serif font via style sheets, you can't easily change it to use a sans serif font.
