2 Attachment(s)
I installed new fonts in windows. Only a few are showing up in DWS?
They all show in CS2.
The authoring area display the font fine. When I go preview area. The fonts look terrible??? Any ideas ? Or suggestions? Help?

So hard to find nice clean fonts .
Best way to explain is to just show you..
btw revised menu says " No respect edition" and is only on the Sub Menu [:p][88]

how do you make more then a top menu on dvdws2?

You mean sub Menus Chapter Menu whatever the flarg we call it :P

You just create another menu. Drag n drop into the next Blank Slot next to your Main MENU

Just link you Main ( add button) & Sub together . Type Scene Selection , chapters etc. >
drag to Sub Menu to that text. > right click >Add button > BAM! The same as linking your episodes Rick. Except you drag your Menu box to that that text. Be sure to create a Return button , (Main in the corner :P) So it can go back to the Main Menu.

o thats it? o ok. i wanted to know for movies. so i could make a scene selection menu. I've been trying to record all disney movies not out on retail and making them into dvds but i wanted to use ulead instead of DVD Author 3. Thanks for the info

Ulead renders fonts poorly, and is why I only use simple icons. The complex icons also redner pooly in alpha layered highlights. I have to use DVD Studio Pro for advanced icon work.

I burned off a test disk. Fonts look fine on tv. Must be this flat screen?

I did noticed something. Your DWS template is slightly off. I placed Rodeny * rover right at the safe area bottom line. Which should have been okay . You wouldnt see them any empty space below. Right?

Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrong. It displays them about 3 inches above on my tv. So I had to pull them below the safe area line to display right. Does this make any sense to you ??? Did you create it that way on porpose :P
