When I open a text block and set it to "No-break" (in order to disable hypenation) all characters suddenly disappear. Has anyone noticed this, too, so far? Very annoying…

Also: In some fonts (e.g. "Marlett" – a default windows font), the FIRST letter you type is not visible, no matter what settings I use (spacing etc…).

The text tool seems very buggy. Any solutions…?

Thanks in advance,
Jay

Jay,

e.g. "Marlett" – a default windows font<<

Marlett is a SPECIAL system font and not one to be used! It is there for the open/minimize/close/resize symbols etc. in Windows

When I open a text block and set it to "No-break" (in order to disable
hypenation) all characters suddenly disappear. <<

Not seeing that here – Have you checked for updated video drivers?

Len,

I surely know that it’s a special font, otherwise I wouldn’t use it… Nonethless there is a faulty behavior with the first character not appearing with this font, which has never been the case before.

The no-break-problem is really weird. It has nothing to do with grphic drivers. Reproducable expample on my system:

1. I open a text block
2. I enter some text which is longer than one line (no <CR>, though)
3. I change the option to "No break"

–> Then, all the text just disappears. If I confirm the textblock anyways (with the Enter key) it contains no pixels. So, no display problem: the text is simply not there anymore.

Solutions, anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Jay

Seems I just solved it. I mixed up "Character > No break" with "Paragraph > Hyphenate". The latter is what I was looking for.

Thanks anyways.

Ah, yes. No break is intended to keep things together. If you try and keep too many characters together, they can’t fit in the box provided and wrap out. To be used judiciously.
