Kerning error on some titles

Post by JosepM » Thu Feb 24, 2011 8:22 pm

Hi,

I detected that in some strings the kerning is erroneous, joining some characters.

I use Helvetica.

How can solve this? Or is question of the system fonts?


Salut,

Hi Josep,

As Quartam Reports relies on LiveCode fields for text rendering, I'm not in control of kerning. Does the text contain unicode characters perhaps or just plain text?
Which platform are you seeing this on, using which Rev/LiveCode version? Can you email me a small reproducible test case so that I can investigate it?

Hi Jan,

The text contain accented characters, well is UTF8, but plus the text created from Quartam Reports. I'm using LC4.6 dp-5 on MacOSX.
I send a report to test.

Salut,
Josep
