Thanks, Zurga.

I can get round this, probably, by entering the date on a form acceptable to Ancestris and just record the original yext in a note.

ENGLISH / Re: Ancestris V12 Narrative report returning unreadable characters

HI Zurga,

Many thanks indeed. Issue resolved.

By widening the window sections of the reports windows, I finally found the Fonts attribute in the Options section. I selected Sans Serif and the PDF report displays perfectly now.

As I was not able to see the full Options window earlier, I didn't appreciate there was a Fonts options as you previously referenced. I've included the screenshot here in case it might assist others with the same issue.

Kind regards, Conor

Du mieux que mieux. Absolument parfait ! 

Ca c'est parce que vous ne dépassez pas le nombre de termes à afficher.

Ah oui... Impressionnant ! Quant on pense que 80 % de la population vivait de l'agriculture jusque dans les années 1850.

C'est pour cela qu'il y a l'option de ne pas afficher la légende...

Bien vu et donc pas uniquement pour pallier le défaut que vous avez corrigé à l'occasion de la dernière mise à jour. 

Bien cordialement.

S'il y en a vraiment trop, on peut avoir des trucs spaces comme ci-joint.

Go to the options tab, choose another font.
In v11, you can't choose the font and the default one was Helvetica or Arial.
In v12, you can choose the font, if you don't have done it, the default is the first installed on your computer.
It could be a font that is unable to display all the characters.

Thank you to try Ancestris.

1) Just click on the calendar icon before the date, you could choose Julian, Gregorian, Hebrew or French Revolution. These four calendars are the ones defined in the GEDCOM norm.

2) You can't. This is a limitation in Ancestris, the dual year is not allowed. You can eventually use the GEDCOM editor to record a sub-tag PHRASE and put the dual year value in it. But the software won't be able to use it properly.

Hi Zurga,

I have now installed Java 17 to a Windows 11 & Windows 7 64-bit laptops and then run the Ancestris64.exe. When using the supplied Kennedy .GED database file, the narrative PDF report still produces unreadable characters (see att. 'Kennedy Ancestris V12 Narrative PDF Screenshot 2023-09-22 113809'. The issue seems to only happen with the Lineage reports.

This indicates to me that my source .GED file is not at fault and the issue is Ancestris V12 application related somehow. This must be happening elsewhere with new users.

My only option currently is to use the Ancestris V11 application and correct the errors warnings when importing my Master Genealogist .GED file. When the data is cleaned up, I'll try using the V12 application again at a later date.

Thanks again, Conor McGinn

ENGLISH / Julian Calendar

« Last post by thebookbloke on Yesterday at 09:56:13 »

Hello

I'm trialling Ancestris to see if it could replace my main genealogy software on my Mac. I have a date problem.

The UK used the Julian calendar until 1752 and the new year began on 25 March. To bring the UK calendar in line with Europe they removed several days from the calendar. One day was Wednesday 2 Sep 1752 and the next was Thursday 14 Sep 1752.

The problem is two-fold:

1. A Julian date recorded as, for example, 3 May 1725, would be 14 May 1725 in the Gregorian calendar. I want to record it as written yet indicate it as a Julian date?

2. Much more important. Dates between 1 Jan and 25 March were often recorded as, for example, 2 Feb 1723/24. Most software that I've used allow this way of writing the date but Ancestris declares it an invalid date. How should I record such dates?

Hope that makes sense.

Best

Il devrait y avoir du mieux après l'update sur la légende

Bonjour Zurga, bonjour à tous,

Du mieux que mieux. Absolument parfait ! 

Les éléments longs, voire très longs, de la légende des professions s'affichent admirablement bien.

Plus rien ne vient gâcher l'esthétique de ce rapport graphique.

Un très grand merci Zurga pour cette fort utile adaptation.

Belle journée à tous.

Cordialement.

Merci Zurga pour ces explications, comme je le disais, c'était une simple question de curiosité.
Bravo, et merci, pour ce très bel arbre circulaire. J'adore.
