Warning: Did not find font resource: fonts/helveticaneueots on Windows Seven

Unable to start the Editor because this appears in a dialogue box every time. On Windows Seven.

Any fix for this?

From the FAQ thread which is a good place to start:

Get the Message "Warning: did not find font resource: fonts/helveticaneueots on game launch

It relates to the "skin cache" file called fm2012.skc.

You can delete the preferences and cache from the library folder, Steam does write to these foldesr. However they are hidden if you are using OSX Lion - you have to make it show by opening the terminal and typing the following

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

This will allow you to see your library and delete the caches. However the simple way around is to disable the "use skin cache" tick box in the preferences panel - this has completely resolved my problem. "

Thanks, but can you describe me exactly the way please ? (for example: Computer > C:....)

Where is the library folder ?

Try the solution in the last sentence about disabling the skin cache in Preferences in the game.

It doesn't work !

Sorry if this is a completely useless suggestion as I cant profess to have had this issue at any point, but is it worth a try trying to find the font helveticaneueots? and sticking it in font folder? Or download an alternative skin and load that up? Or verify you game cache in STEAM?

How I can verify my cache in STEAM ?

From the FAQ thread again:

1. Load Steam
   
   
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
   
   
3. Select the Local files tab and click the ‘VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE…’ button.
   
   
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
   
   
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.
   
   

Goto tools on STEAM and find the FM12 editor, and then right click and select properties. Once the box pops up select the LOCAL FILES tab and select verify integrity of tool cache, let it complete and then restart. It might work, this is always the first thing to try if something is not working on STEAM for any game or tool. Failing that then goto the same place and select delete local tool content, and re-install. It may not work, but definately worth a try before you do anything else!

**FrazT he is having issues with editor, so will need to do those steps from the tool, not the game. (not trying to be a smart alec by the way!!!!!!

I verified the cache with Steam, the Editor doesn't work.

I change the skin, the Editor doesn't work.

Is it possible for the Editor to run if the game doesn't the same version ? Because I verified the version and the version of FM is 12.0.4, and maybe it's not the same for the Editor.

Updates to the game in general don't affect the editor anymore I've been told. So that shouldn't be causing your problems.

Ok, so where's the problem ?

Have you deleted local tool content and re-installed it yet?

No offence taken:thup:- I have no expereince of the editor so all help is welcomed.

Have you deleted local tool content and re-installed it yet?

Yes, I started with that.

Hmmm, clearly it cant find the font that the editor is meant to use. Have you tried seeing if your OS has that font? Also did you follow FrazT's advice, by opening game (FM12) and going to preferences and unticking skin cache. Also just for the hell of it tick always reload on confirm. And try editor again. And have you tried downloading any skin packs from the skinning sub-forum, maybe download one and install and then try? It has to be something very annoying but bloody simple!!!! Always is!!!!

I unticking skin cache, I installed this skin "FM12 Stadium Background", but same result, the editor doesn't run.

But the editor ran 3 days ago.

And if someone of you give me the file "helveticaneueots", maybe I will put in place of the mine, no ?

Then I'm lost! Other than editing msconfig to make sure your system is starting up on ONLY the essetials to ensure there is no conflicts happening! I would goto the tech forum get your dxdiag ready to post, and try there! Sorry mate! Bloody frustrating when this crap happens! What are you wanting to edit anyway?

I just looked for it on my sys and I don't seem to have it?!

This is happening to me also. Very annoying.

There must be a solution to this.

This is happening to me aswell i've tried everything suggested and still it doesn't work. Been trying to get it working for a week now!
