[Ham-Mac] fldigi partially drawn?

[Ken Winograd]

Problem solved. With Dick's help (thanks Dick!), I finally tracked the problem down to my having a messed up set of system fonts. I wish I could be more specific on exactly what was wrong (or more specifically how I might have messed up my system fonts in the first place), but I ran Font Book and found an option in its File Menu called RESTORE STANDARD FONTS...I chose it, it asked for permission to do it, I gave my password, it took about a millisecond to say it was done and NO problem was found....yet...when I next ran fldigi, it finally appeared as it should with fonts and menus showing as they should. A mystery still, but a great conclusion.

I have a Mac, running Lion, and I downloaded and installed fldigi 3.21.43 and then the just released 3.21.45, and I end up with fldigi coming up apparently only partially drawn! It seems to be missing much of the text in the windows, and menus, etc. Here's a pic of what I see...

If that happened to me I would trash, the application, the .fldigi folder and the .dmg file. I would reboot the Mac, download a fresh copy of fldigi-3.21.45.dmg and start over as a new user.
