Preferred Text

[Grey Mage]

So, coming back from holiday and checking this thread, I take it that the original issue is now on the 'fix it' pile and that sometime in the (hopefully near) future it will appear as a fix in an update...?

That is good enough for me.

It would be interesting to see how tall that pile is, wouldn't it??

Happy new year everyone... really excited to see how RW morphs/develops this year. Reminds me of the first versions of HeroLab.

No. No it wouldn't. I'm not good with extreme heights....

Then you'd start to see bugs like "I went to add text to a snippet and it was in a completely different font than what was already there."

Then again, you might not see that if the HTML renderer is looking for a glyph that isn't in most fonts but is in a font that specializes in mathematics symbols. If no font on the system had the glyph, would it put in something else as a missing glyph or is the error suppressed? And why is it looking for some strange glyph in the first place?

More stabs in the dark.
