Problems using Prism Mac 3cx with OSX.
Prism 3.0cx (the last release of Prism 3) was completed when OSX 10.1 was current. Newer releases of OSX have created two problems. We don't go back to fix old versions of our programs to run with OS versions that didn't exist when the programs were released.
When I try to change the font of text, the font list is empty so I can't select a new font.
This is a bug in OSX 10.2 (and 10.3), which we have fixed in Prism 4. To work around the problem in Prism 3cx, follow these steps: Click in the empty font list. Then use the UP and DOWN arrow keys (on the keyboard) to scroll through the list of fonts (you may need to push the DOWN arrow key six times before seeing font names). Or type in a font name. This problem does not occur with Prism 4.
It is not possible to change colors of symbols (and some other places).
The work around is to create a color scheme and apply that (or upgrade to Prism 4). We have not tested Prism 3 under Leopard, but have not heard of any problems.
