Yes, this would be nice, in the meantime you can use aafont, but it does not work as well as the antialiasing in AfA.

Agreed (although AMIGASYSTEM is right about the superior image quality), AfA lacks some of the MUI and DiskImageGUI toolbar images, and messes up badly with very small windows.

Yes! The most important thing is alpha channel support in the picture.datatype.

My Locale settings:

Available languages: English
Preferred language: English
Country: Czech Republic
Time zone: 1 Hour from GMT

Is there anything else I can share? I didn't do any other installs, this was a fresh install on an empty disk, new format, partitioning, filesystem (PFS3) and installation of OS3.2.

If I boot from Install floppy, it displays date correctly. I may it re-install once again.

If it is a clean system, the floppy shows that something went wrong in the installation, try to install OS 3.2 of defalut "in English" and then finished the installation then localize in your language.

If the problem persists, it may be that the localization in your language has incompatibilities.

There is no comparison VisualPrefs can't be compared to AfA OS, moreover VisualPrefs doesn't work well on OS3.2 and Birdie is not well supported by OS 3.2, it is enough to open some GUI to have artifacts, on AfA OS there are no artifacts of any kind

I have everything in English, I have not installed other languages, I do not use them. The only change I can do is set my country to England

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The problem seems to be due to "Country: Czech Republic", I tried setting it on my OS 3.2 and got the same problem as you !

[Predseda]

When I change the country to UK it does not help.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Delete the file "locale.prefs" in the path SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys
After that you will have English by default!

VisualPrefs was updated especially for providing compatibility with OS3.2. What do you mean by “does not work well on OS3.2”? Did you install the latest VP from Aminet?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes I have installed the OS 3.2 update, not all settings are available, the program in some cases does not "obey" and saves as it likes, try to make some settings (gadget) on RTG resolutions.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Sorry probably the problem was on a Skin I tested, I tried with a standard Skin that comes with VisualPrefs and now it seems to work fine VisualPrefs !

EDIT:

Found the problem on the Skin (OS4) now works fine also Birdie seems to work now

My problem is not having the proper language, my system is in English. Problem is the date display. So something wrong in some country file?

Deleting something from OS settings can be the way, but still not the proper way.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Deleting seems to be the only way to restore, but then you can save a new language again.

You can solve your problem by replacing "czech_republic.country" with the "czech_republic.country" version of OS 3.9, but to correct the date you have to go back to to save "czech" to Prefs/Locale

[Predseda]

So it seems there is some small bug in czech_republic.country that shall be fixed.

Same error occures when the country is set to Slovakia.

Seems fine here. What exactly is the problem you are having?

I confirm that Slovakia has the same problem!

In Prefs/Local you must click on czech_republic.country or Slovakia.country and save, when you restart you will see that the dates include the % symbol instead of the normal values that make up the date.
