  Marquee can’t open

  Posted by Roi Turnoy on January 7, 2011 at 3:53 pm

  Hi guys

  I have Avid mc5 and trying to open the Marquee title software.

  I get this 3 messages:

  1.COULD NOT FIND TIMES NEW ROMAN.
  PLEASE INSTALL TO CONTINUE.

  2. COULDN’T INITIALIZE FontMgr

  3. INITIALIZATION ERROR: Managers

  After this messages nothing happen – I’m back in Avid.

  I’m working on MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 installed.

  the strange thing is that I have Time New Roman installed on my system. I can see it in my fonts folder and also in the Font Book application.

  Any idea how to solve this?

  Thanks
  Roi

  Check Font Book (application on your system) to make sure those fonts aren’t corrupted/duplicated.

  Hi

  How can I know if they are corrupted?

  I have Times and Times New Roman…

  if they are corrupted – how can I fix it?

  On your mac there is an application called Font book.

  It has the option to Validate fonts. I suspect that you have multiple copies of the font. See if this repairs the problem.

  Other ideas (after you’ve tried that) would be to trash the marquee settings…..
  Try it in a new user (to see if it’s specific to your OSX user)
  and gulp a full uninstall/reinstall of MC

  Also, for the record, MC isn’t supported with 10.6.5, but I’m running it right (5.0.3.7) now and Marquee does work.

  Best,

  Jeff G
