Preferred Text
I know I have read somewhere about this in another post, so feel free to move it there.
Is there a simple way to set a 'default' preferred text (font/size) so that when using the 'Text Content -> Clear Text Formatting' option it would automatically use the desired default? |
Go to Manage.
Choose Preferences. Select Styles in the left most column. This should give you what you want. |

I have already done that. None of the options there allows you to reset the basic system font/type size (Tahoma 9); it appears to be hardcoded. |

That is weird.
I will test that. Hmm, it works here - but bear in mind that it only changes the text in the snippets (what you have typed), not the heading of the topic, the tags or the section headings and various other places. Which, I might add, looks like an oversight. Setting the style: Attachment 4270 The result: Attachment 4271 I do NOT recommend those settings... So to sum up: The style settings seems to only alter some of the text (name, the text inside the snippets). I would have expected it to change the text globally. |
Realm Works says that the style is only going to affect Text Snippets, Notes, and Journals right above the setting. You can see it in your first (way too wide!) image. :)
I thought initially that Realm Works might be at least partially keying off your system settings for some or all of the headings, but it doesn't seem to be doing that. Letting you (eventually) set the font and color for the headings seems like a reasonable feature request. Perhaps this would be a per-user feature rather than a realm setting, as the headers are different in the web client previews we've seen. |

I know - just now succeeded in adding an image to a post, so I guess I got carried away. I will try to limit myself next time :-) |
Sorry. I do tend to harp on it sometimes. :)

Vargr,
Are you cut and pasting some text with different fonts and colors, then using the 'Text Content -> Clear Text Formatting' option (wrench on the right top of the snippet) to clear all previous colors, styles, fonts, sizes, etc? What I am asking for is something that will take that 'cleared' text to a defined default text. |
OK, now that I understand what you're doing it looks like a bug. I'd expect the Clear Text Formatting command to reset text snippets to the formatting specified by the Normal style. You should probably submit it via the online bug reporter.
|
I agree with Parody, it must be a bug (or an undocumented feature).
I, too, would expect Clear Text Formatting to revert it to your default text style. Even more strange is, that when you choose 1: Wrench to the right of snippet 2: Snippet Style 3: Normal It just reverts to the Tahoma, size 9 regardless of what you have in styles, normal. I guess that there are a few kinks to work out after the introduction of styles. If you lodged a report, I am sure that it will gradually be corrected with each new release. |
Did this get submitted? I've just run into it now, and I'm super not keen on manually tweaking dozens of snippets in several hundred topics just because I fancy the default style being a little bigger :\ If nobody has submitted it yet, I'll happily do so myself.

I have sent a bug report and it has been pushed on to their "fix it" pile.
Where exactly it ended up in their pile I don't know :-) |
I have a rather annoying problem with my preferred text settings:
Saving text snippets often leads to an automatic change in text spacing and/or rather font style change. The resulting spacing kicks text out of the visible part of the snippet box and the "font indicator" (the small field in the format menu) turns empty. Highlighting individual parts of the snippets shows the right font style and size (those of my preferences), but positioning the cursor behind the last sign shows a different font style than preferences. Across all my realms and independent of the set preferences the last sign or paragraph mark apparently turns into Cambria Math. Changing the font style of the whole snippet and saving results in correct display until the next changes. But that is time consuming and does not work with annotations to tag snippets like charakter role. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1704/...fcb7d891_q.jpgRealm Works font error Does anyone else encounter this problem? Or knows of a work around while I wait for my bug report to get worked off? |

Poking around Microsoft Support: Cambria Math Regular comes with Windows Vista, 7, and 8; Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010; and the 2007/2010 viewers and converters. It appears that it'd also come with Office 2013 if you have the Equation Editor installed. Removing Cambria Math Regular will probably make the Equation Editor not work. It needs you to have a font installed that Office recognizes as a math font. |

And, you mention Cambria Math Regular. Is it different from what Greebo has as Cambria Math?

The question remains, though: why is Realm Works substituting in a symbol font? Quote:
Attachment 4320 I'm just being overly specific. They're the same. |
Almost everyone has Cambria Math installed. It comes as part of Win 7, 8 and Office 2013. Telling people to uninstall the font is not really the answer to this problem.

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 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. |
