Notator insists on loading fonts from disks even though I use a harddisk, why?
You may have experienced the following: you load a song (.SON) file from the harddisk, and suddenly the disk drive starts up, where Notator searches for the fonts, even though you’ve installed all the fonts on your harddisk! This is a typical problem for Notator users who have been using a basic Atari ST system (i.e. using floppy disks for saving files), then adding a harddisk later. Song files (.SON) are saved along with all sorts of information, among others the paths to where the fonts are located. If the songs have been saved on a floppy disk system (i.e. drive “A”), naturally the font path will be “A:\” as well. So even when the songs are copied over to a harddisk, the font path information is still pointing to the disk drive, not the new harddisk path, and that’s why the disk drive is accessed as the song is loaded from the harddisk. You can encounter similar problems if you’ve deleted (or renamed) the “FONT” folder, or changed the path on the harddisk. However, there is an easy
